As you 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 you board larger motor rafts called j-rigs for the remainder of the trip. We also 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.
