The raft slides out into a hot canyon where the Fraser’s current pulls at your attention and the canyon walls rise like ancient pages. Guides call out gentle commands; the boat answers with bouncy wave trains and sudden spinning eddies that laugh at your balance. At select stretches the guide pauses and you can step into the river, hold a tether rope and let the current carry you downstream — a warm, buoyant float under a pouring waterfall.
