Most rivers change classification depending on the time of year and the water levels.
Probably the most popular run is the Thompson River which is generally a maximum of class 4 with several class 3 rapids. This river runs through a very arid canyon and the high heat tends to offset the cold water of the river. This river can be combined as a 2 day trip with the Fraser River. The Fraser has only a few rapids but it does include the class 5 Hells Gate rapid. Special rafts are required on the Fraser, Hells Gate is actually close to a class 6, but with the boats used and the specially trained guides, even a novice can do it.
