“Breathtaking, isn’t it?” Simon Fraser Viewpoint offers a panorama that truly captures the spirit of Vancouver. The viewpoint is named after Simon Fraser, a key figure in the early exploration of Western Canada. He wasn’t the first European to lay eyes on the area. But his journey down the river that now bears his name in 1808 was a feat of daring and resilience. Imagine navigating the turbulent waters and treacherous canyons of the Fraser River. Fraser and his team did this, all in the name of expanding the fur trade. They were searching for a route to the Pacific. Unfortunately, the Fraser River wasn’t the route they hoped for. Simon Fraser Viewpoint stands as a reminder of his legacy, a place where visitors can connect with the spirit of exploration that shaped this region. As you take in the view, consider the changes that have occurred since Fraser’s time. From a rugged outpost of the fur trade to a bustling metropolis, Vancouver has undergone a remarkable transformation.
