Alexandra Bridge and bluffs, Fraser River in the 1880s (Charles MacMunn, BC Archives b-06896) and in 2008 (CW- 2008-08C-079).
Likely very frequent fires coming from Indigenous fishing camps along the river routinely burned the understory of forests in the canyon. After more than century of reduced fire frequency, these forests appear to be much more dense, and have a understory with abundant biomass.
