THE VIEW FROM the air of Hell’s Gate may y be a bif'scary, but it is perfectly safe

to. rect

More than “999, 000
‘travellers have shivered and
gasped their way across the
miglity Fraser Canyon since
1971. Oohing and ahhing,
they have looked down on
the wild river rushing over
the rocks in a place where,
said . Simon Fraser, “no
human being should ven-
ture.”

The place is the famous
Hell's Gate,;“ where the
Fraser boils through the
gorge at 200 million gallons a
minute on its descent to the
Pacific. Until 1971, no one
but Fraser .and his Indian
guides had gotten so close to
the water. But that year, the
Hell’s Gate Airtram went
into operation.

field day -- especially when a
school of sockeye ‘salmon

for the spawning grounds.
Exciting in daytime, it’s even
more breathtaking at night,
as lights flash across the
waters.’

Some time this month, a
passenger will step aboard
the Airtram and the magic

the turnstile. The person
who makes that happen will
be felted, feasted and
awarded a lifetime pass.
