Lytton Attractions

The little town of Lytton (171 m (561 ft)) lies about 400 km (250 mi.) upstream from Vancouver along the TransCanada Highway. Before the gold-rush and the building of the Canadian Pacific Railway there was an Indian village here at the confluence of the Fraser and Thompson Rivers. Named Cumchin, meaning "fork in the river", it lived mainly from salmon-fishing.

From Lillooet take Hwy. 12 to Lytton at the confluence of the Fraser and Thompson rivers. From here TransCanada Highway 1 offers a quick route back to the Vancouver area.
