The Illecillewaet River flows 62 kilometers before meeting the Columbia River. The turquoise color comes from glaciers at the river's starting point at Rogers Pass. This river is home to rainbow trout, bull trout, and mountain whitefish, and the all-important beavers, building dams along its course.
