Mount
Cheam is the dominate feature to the South East of Chilliwack. That's Lady Peak in the background. Fortunately there's an easier way of reaching the summit (than walking up this side). Start up Chilliwack Lake road, and take the decommissioned logging road at Chipmunk Creek. From the trail head at Spoon Lake, a hiking trail leads to the sub alpine meadows and then climbs to the peak. The summit offers fabulous views of the Fraser Valley to the east and west. |
