White Water Rafting on the Coquihalla River

This weekend I joined my high school friends for our traditional May Long Weekend vacation. Every year in May we plan a trip and this year involved white water rafting on the Coquihalla River. This river is one of the tributaries to the Fraser River (the main river exiting into the Pacific Ocean at Vancouver). It is located near Hope, B.C. Here's a map so you can have a better idea on where we were.
During the weekend the temperature reached 31 degrees Celsius. Such a high temperature led to the increase in rate of snow melt from the mountains. Due to this, the river levels became very high and the speed of the river was also increased. That equates to an exceptionally fun rafting trip!!! Here are some pictures from the day.
