Tranquille River high on the Bonaparte Plateau, collects in Tranquille Lake and then flows down through the river valleys to empty into Kamloops Lake at Tranquille.   The lower river is in a more open valley but at about 4 km upstream, the valley narrows to a canyon and it stays that way for 12 km, just above Tranquille Crossing.   Much of the canyon is steep and there is little access, but we can hike and explore at several points along the canyon, as shown in the map below.   Map controls include panning, zooming, full screen view, sharing, and interactive icons (with links, images, and more information):
