During this&nbsp;research mission&nbsp;I was reminded of 3 things about Lillooet, BC . Sometimes, what a local might see everyday, is eye candy&nbsp;for those visitors who arrive wide-eyed and with blinders off .&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\" align=\"center\">It has been awhile since I&nbsp;last visited the community. Hence why everything looks so new again. &nbsp;Here are 3 of the biggest impressions left with&nbsp;me&nbsp;during my visit.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\" align=\"center\">Lillooet BC Mountains<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\" align=\"center\">OMG! The mountains of Lillooet surround the entire community and they are&nbsp;steep, dramatic and so jaw dropping beautiful. Nice thing about Lillooet Mountains is that they are on top of you, totally unobstructed and enjoyed from all parts of the community.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_8336\" style=\"width: 560px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8336\" class=\"size-full wp-image-8336\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ehcanadatravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/lookout-near-hangman-greg-6.jpg\" alt=\"Hangman's Park\" width=\"550\" height=\"336\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ehcanadatravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/lookout-near-hangman-greg-6.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.ehcanadatravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/lookout-near-hangman-greg-6-150x92.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ehcanadatravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/lookout-near-hangman-greg-6-300x183.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-8336\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong>Lookout at Hangman&#8217;s Park<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_8333\" style=\"width: 560px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8333\" class=\"size-full wp-image-8333\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ehcanadatravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/fraser-river-9.jpg\" alt=\"Lillooet Mountains\" width=\"550\" height=\"336\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ehcanadatravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/fraser-river-9.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.ehcanadatravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/fraser-river-9-150x92.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ehcanadatravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/fraser-river-9-300x183.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-8333\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong>Fraser River Mountain Views<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\" align=\"center\">Fraser River in Lillooet BC<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\" align=\"center\">The Fraser River in Lillooet, British Columbia carves out deep canyons and is home to dinosaur fish we call Sturgeon.

But for us who love to travel we tend to find a favorite spot in a community we like to call our &#8220;special place&#8221;. In Lillooet, BC I found such a place. At this place I could walk for kilometres, watch the Fraser River roar&nbsp;and locals fish. This was my place of tranquility. In between visits with tourism businesses and researching Lillooet I would park here by the Old Bridge and mentally and physically wander &nbsp;and exhale. It is also home to an Eagle&#8217;s Nest and&nbsp;some chirping&nbsp;entertainment.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_8338\" style=\"width: 560px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8338\" class=\"size-full wp-image-8338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ehcanadatravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/old-bridge-greg-2.jpg\" alt=\"Old Bridge\" width=\"550\" height=\"336\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ehcanadatravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/old-bridge-greg-2.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.ehcanadatravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/old-bridge-greg-2-150x92.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ehcanadatravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/old-bridge-greg-2-300x183.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-8338\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong>Old Bridge Walk-about<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_8337\" style=\"width: 560px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8337\" class=\"size-full wp-image-8337\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ehcanadatravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/old-bridge-1.jpg\" alt=\"Old bridge in Lillooet\" width=\"550\" height=\"336\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ehcanadatravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/old-bridge-1.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.ehcanadatravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/old-bridge-1-150x92.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ehcanadatravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/old-bridge-1-300x183.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-8337\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong>Old Bridge<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\" align=\"center\">My Accommodation in Lillooet, BC<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\" align=\"center\">Thank you to the staff and to Dave and Michele (owners) of Reynolds Motel for a great time and for your hospitality.
