Grand Canyon of the Fraser, Canyon formation in Robson Valley, British Columbia, Canada.
The Grand Canyon of the Fraser extends for 2 kilometers through the upper Fraser River, featuring steep rock walls and rapid water currents.
Between 1906 and 1910, First Nations crews guided surveyors through the canyon's whitewater sections, earning income for their navigation expertise.
First Nations communities established portage routes around the canyon during high water periods, demonstrating their deep knowledge of river navigation.
The canyon became part of Sugarbowl-Grizzly Den Provincial Park in 2000, located 6 kilometers from Hutton and 100 kilometers east of Prince George.
The first sternwheeler, Nechacco, navigated through the canyon in 1909, using ropes to ascend the challenging rapids.
