Hope
A recreation wonderland and a wealth of spectacular sights await you, as nestled between the pretty town of Hope and Rosedale, at the base of Mount Cheam you’ll find the beautiful, stunning Bridal Falls and as the water tumbles down the mountain’s face in Bridal Falls Provincial Park, it offers a panoramic view of the Fraser Valley, the falls are the sixth largest in Canada.
The Lower Fraser Valley is a rural region of berry fields and dairy farms is also very picturesque and worth a visit. Follow the Fraser River as it narrows at the town of Hope, cutting through the Cascade Mountains, the Fraser flows through a region of deep gorges and narrow canyons. Follow the Trans-Canada along this magnificent section of highway and stop at Hell's Gate where the mighty Fraser River roars at a rate of 200 million gallons a minute and the narrowest point along the whole river's length. Here, you can descend into the canyon in an air-tram for a close-up look at the raging river. The Fraser is the heart of one of the world’s greatest salmon producing river system in the world and not far is the little town of Harrison Creek.
