Hell's Gate

Nestled amidst the rugged landscape of British Columbia, Hell's Gate is a natural wonder that offers visitors an extraordinary experience through its aerial tramway. This breathtaking attraction is not only a testament to the raw power of nature but also a marvel of human engineering, providing an unparalleled vantage point over the tumultuous Fraser River.

The Hell's Gate Airtram descends visitors into a chasm where over 200 million gallons of water per minute thunder through a narrow 33-meter (110-foot) wide passage, which is truly a sight to behold. The aerial tramway itself is an impressive feat, being one of the only fully suspended gondolas in North America. It offers a safe and exhilarating journey over this spectacular section of the river, often referred to as the "most treacherous" part of the Fraser.

The tramway was constructed to provide visitors with access to one of Canada's most dramatic and historic sites. It is not only a pathway to stunning views but also a journey through time, as the region holds significant importance to the local Indigenous peoples and played a pivotal role during the Fraser Canyon Gold Rush.

Once at the bottom, guests can explore the observation decks, exhibits, and the education center, which provides insights into the area's history, geology, and the engineering behind the tramway itself. The Hell's Gate experience is both an educational and thrilling adventure, appealing to a wide range of interests from history buffs to nature enthusiasts.
