Moose River

The Moose River descends through the Rocky Mountains to meet the upper Fraser just above Moose Lake. The Fraser then flows through the lake and westward beneath towering peaks. In the early nineteenth century, fur hunters and guides crossed the mountains toward the upper Fraser; among them was Pierre Hatsinaton, an Iroquois guide known as Tête Jaune, who led a Hudson's Bay Company party to the river's forks.
