Our first days in Canada were almost exactly nine years ago. During that summer, Jay and I had visited Hell's Gate, a traditional tourist venue about 190 kilometers from Vancouver. It's where, to quote a video, the immense Fraser River "turns on its side" to fit down through a narrow canyon. Didn't I also hear that more water moves through the Hell's Gate channel than over Niagara Falls? This time riding down the gondola was fun as the other guys found it a new experience.
