This is the narrowest part of the Fraser River. As much as 200 million gallons of water pound and surge each minute through a 110 foot wide gorge. The height of the Fraser can vary as much as 80 feet thorough out the year at this point. It was named by Simon Fraser in 1808 because it reminded him of the "Gate of hell."
