The Grand Canyon of the Fraser is a short gorge on the upper Fraser River in the Robson Valley region of east central British Columbia.[1] The location, about 6 kilometres (4 mi) south-southwest of Hutton, became part of the Sugarbowl-Grizzly Den Provincial Park and Protected Area in 2000.[2] The canyon head was about 171 kilometres (106 mi) by river from Fort George,[3] and is about 100 kilometres (62 mi) due east of downtown Prince George.

The name is commonly confused even by journalists with the Fraser Canyon, which runs south from the city of Williams Lake to the town of Hope.[4]
