This has to be one of the most stunning hikes in the Fraser Valley. I honestly felt like I was in the Swiss Alps. Without a question this is Chilliwack, BC best kept secret. Elk Mountain.
Elk Mountain offers stunning views of Chilliwack, Cultus Lake and the Fraser Valley. Anything you need to know before visiting is included in the video. Be sure to like and subscribe.

I camped at Chilliwack Lake in the 2007 with my Nephew. early in the morning i was awake and heard Bigfoot call across the lake, it was no human from the intense volume and length of the howl ....in First Nations folklore if you hear him you are blessed. If you remain at your campsite and maybe 50 to one hundred feet away place some gifts. This is the way to let them know that You come in peace, as they are Benevolent and only Use methods of non violent means, to let you know they are not Happy. Please move on. However you can become friends, if you are positive minded, come in peace and offer them food, fruit, objects like marbles, shiny buttons, placed on a stump or large flat rock. I hope you try some of these signs from you that they can understand as a peace offering. Good luck and be Blessed by this Monster you say. lol I have been blessed at Chilliwack Lake BC Canada in the heart of our Bigfoot Territory. First Nations say if you hear them you are blessed as they know and sense where you are. !

True. I've hiked and used my street legal motorcycle to go there. One winter walk had me picked-up by a ATV. Operated by a female bush pilot on her vacation time. I showed her a nice limestone cave and she allowed me a nicer day outing.

@qwazert382 2 жыл бұрын

An even better hike in the Chilliwack area is Mt. Cheam....incredible views, but difficult to reach the trailhead without a 4x4. The condition of the road can vary from year to year; and don't bother trying before the mid to end of June as there is one stretch of road that doesn't get any sunlight until that time, so it's filled with deep snow. Mt. McGuire is also a beautiful hike, but ever since the road got wiped out in 2008, it's been tough to get to the trailhead....don't know if the road even exists past the last bridge - which collapsed 2 years ago. Slesse/Redoubt/MacFarlane are also nice hikes with awesome views. Ford Mountain is a nice short hike...but trailhead is also difficult to reach. Lots of great hikes in Chwk...Elk is the easiest to get to.
