At the dramatic confluence of the
Thompson River and
Fraser River, Lytton is the most southerly town in the Gold Country area of
High Country. Known as "The Rafting Capital of Canada", Lytton is surrounded by high rock walls and steep forested hillsides. Visitors can enjoy a guided raft excursion, or see the "Lytton Jellyroll" monument, a natural formation that dates back to the Ice Ages. The Remembrance Day Pow Wow, a festival of dance and music to recognize native Canadians who fought for their country, is held in November.
