The McBride Riviera

    I have noticed that more and more people are out enjoying the sand and water of the Fraser River than in previous years.  In the past you might see someone out walking their dog along the lonely sandbars, but recently groups of people are picnicking, sunbathing, and taking cold dips in the river during the remaining hot days of summer.

    This “beach” only appears late in the summer as the volume of water in the Fraser River diminishes, because of the lessening of glacier melt this time of year, high in the mountains.
