RouteXpert Review
The third part starts in Hope and this route is 100% Trans Canada Highway, with beautiful parts. The route runs along the river Fraser and on the way you often have a nice view of the river. We also drive over some beautiful bridges and pass a number of tributaries and lakes. The route is enjoyable!

RP6 Yale Historic Site takes you back to the early days of the 1858 Fraser River Gold Rush. Step back in time and take a stroll down the boardwalk and see the goods for sale at the General Store. Swagger in the Saloon for a game of poker. Learn what life was like for the thousands of Chinese railway workers in the Chinese guest house and bathhouse or try panning gold and 'hit it rich'!

RP12 Tuckkwiowhum Heritage Interpretive Village are knowledge of the history and culture of the Nlaka'pamux (Thompson) people.

We stop for lunch in Lytton (RP13). There are a number of restaurants and snack bars in this village. After lunch we drive on and follow the Thompson River. Also along this river we can enjoy the winding roads and the beautiful surroundings. At RP14 in the bend of the river is the Frog Rock, a rock that resembles a squatting frog.

We continue on our way towards Kamloops, at RP15 you can stop to enjoy the beautiful view over the mountains and Lake Kamloops. After this it is another 30km to the end point.

This third leg of the Trans Canada Highway is worth 4 **** Stars, it is a beautiful drive with beautiful vistas and there are a nice number of activities and sights along the way.
