Once past the turbulent canyons and rapids of the lower Liard River, the explorers came to a calm stretch of water where Fort Halkett was later built. North of the Smith River, however, there were more rapids, and some were extremely violent. #Journeys #ThreeJourneysNorth #NorthernBC https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/liard-3/
