Old Alexandra Bridge over the Fraser River

On a trip in June, we pulled off Highway #1, between Boston Bar and Yale, to have a look at the old Alexandra Bridge over the Fraser River. (NOTE: the turn-off is easy to miss if your travelling north on Highway #1)

This spot is designated a Provincial Park. There's convenient parking and toilet (outhouse) facilities. The walk down to the bridge takes about 15 minutes over a well-maintained path.
