Top 5 Budget-friendly Things to do in Lillooet, Canada
Lillooet (English: /ˈlɪloʊ.ɛt/), formerly Cayoosh Flat, is a community on the Fraser River in British Columbia, Canada, about 240 kilometres (150 mi) up the British Columbia Railway line from Vancouver. Situated at an intersection of deep gorges in the lee of the Coast Mountains, it has a dry climate with an average of 329.5 millimetres (13 in) of precipitation being recorded annually. Lillooet has a long growing season, and once had prolific market gardens and orchard produce. It often vies with Lytton and Osoyoos for the title of "Canada's Hot Spot" on a daily basis in summer.

The old bridge crosses the Fraser River. There is an osprey nest up on the top, so watch for droppings!! The local natives fish along the banks below. Beautiful mountains all around.

This is the working rail shuttle between Lillooet CN station and Seton Portage station with a couple of whistle stops along the way. It's the working shuttle lifeline for these First Nations communities, BC Hydro and forrest workers, passing over a local dam, a major hydro station, carrying groceries, supplies and kids to and from school. So if you're expecting Disneyworld, go elsewhere. But hold on - it's one of the last few authentic, real two car rail experiences anywhere in North America. The shuttle run is over an hour - through a klm tunnel, alongside one of the most sheer mountain rock cliffs and a beautiful jade green shimmering glacial cut lake. Disney would require computer-generated graphics and couldn't afford the minimum wage on the local salmon runs or big horn sheep who live along the line. Advanced booking can be a hassle but if you get the hours on the phone and rock up 10 mins before the appointed time, it's straightforward. For 5 loonies each way, you couldn't make up a more breathtaking ride.
