ASHCROFT TO YALE Fraser & Thompson River - 3 Day Expedition
The ancient rock walls of Black Canyon tower above as we begin our 160-kilometre adventure. The dry desert climate and the clear blue waters of the Thompson are the perfect companions on the first day of this expedition.
Challenge the rapids with our paddle rafts or lounge about on our larger power rafts and enjoy a day of whitewater and frequent sightings of osprey, eagles and Big-horn Sheep.
You will encounter the power of Devil's Gorge, Cutting Board, the Cauldron, Jaws and more. Choose either paddle or power for over 40 km of fun.
As we change rivers, the blue waters of the Thompson mix with the silt-laden waters of the mighty Fraser just above the canyon. With rapids more powerful than the Colorado River we board larger motor rafts called j-rigs for the remainder of the trip.
We move from dry sage-covered hills and white limestone cliffs, to lush conifer forests and moss-covered granite banks carved by the force of this free flowing river.
