Lytton, Village at the confluence of Thompson and Fraser rivers in British Columbia, Canada.

Lytton sits at an elevation of 195 meters, surrounded by open coniferous forests of Douglas fir and ponderosa pine along the Trans-Canada Highway.

The area became a settlement during the Fraser Canyon Gold Rush of 1858-59, named after British Colonial Secretary Edward Bulwer-Lytton.

The territory belongs to the Nlaka'pamux First Nations people, who have inhabited this region for more than 10,000 years.

The village provides access to river rafting activities, with Kumsheen Rafting Resort employing numerous local residents.

Lytton recorded Canada's highest temperature of 49.6°C in June 2021, before a wildfire destroyed 90 percent of the settlement.
