Lytton, BC

Strap on a life jacket and prepare to get wet! No trip to Lytton, the Rafting Capital of Canada, is complete without a wild ride through the rapids of the Thompson or the Fraser River. From three-hour "quickie" trips to five-day "action adventure" holidays combining the thrills of rafting with the excitement of rock climbing, rappelling, kayaking, and mountain biking, there is a trip to suit every sanity level!

For those who prefer to stay high and dry, Lytton's history also attracts guests from all over hoping to relive the good ol' days of the Cariboo gold rush. Take a walking tour of the village, or visit Caboose Park to pay homage to the retired CN caboose that rests there as a tribute to the railways built in Lytton in 1885 and 1912. Then, try your hand at gold panning on the banks of the Fraser and Thompson to see just how much excitement this precious metal can generate.
