Photograph depicts Hell's Gate. Hell's Gate is a 35 metre (110 ft) narrowing of British Columbia's Fraser River Canyon, located immediately downstream of Boston Bar. The name is derived from an entry in explorer Simon Fraser's diary which said of the gorge, “We had to travel where no human being should venture, for surely we have encountered the gates of hell" (Simon Fraser, 1808).
Concrete framework for walkway along canyon walls; jagged rocky cliffs with shale-like appearance and river rapids left of image; people standing on canyon walkway in background.
[1950]
