Lytton: The Village of Lytton is in Nlaka’pamux Territory, in the B.C. Interior, located where the green
waters of the Thompson River meets with the brown, silt-laden flow of the Fraser River. It sits at
the confluence of the Thompson and Fraser rivers, and is the connection point between
Highway 12 and the Trans-Canada Highway. Lytton is surrounded by forests of ponderosa pine
and Douglas fir, sagebrush and rabbitbrush, and soapberry and saskatoon bushes. The hills are
rich with diverse wildlife and the rivers are rich with salmon. The Coast, Cascade, and Clear
mountain ranges meet here, and the dry climate contributes to the intense summer heat that
Lytton is known for.
