If you're in search of grand water and even grander thrills, the Fraser River is your answer. This Class 3+ raft trip is a dream come true for adventurous paddlers craving an adrenaline-fuelled experience amidst untamed wilderness.
Your adventure commences with a scenic drive from Jasper to the launch point at Mount Robson, the loftiest peak in the Canadian Rockies. Upon arrival, you'll be kitted out with wetsuits, paddle jackets, helmets, and life jackets.
