Coquihalla Summit Recreation Area — Attraction in Area B (South Fraser Canyon/Sunshine Valley)

This place is an experience that we all should obtain especially in the winter months. Now mind you, if you are new to driving, please dont try this place in winter conditions. There is a reason why they nick named this place "Highway Thru Hell" but this Highway Thru Hell has some beautiful hiking trails, wonderful stop arounds and absolutely gorgeous views especially if it snowed and the sky clear and blue WOW just WOW 🙆‍♂️❤️

I have driven this highway in all of the seasons but my favourite time would have to be in Spring, the Fall and in the Winter seasons. If you are gonna try this place in winter please be prepared, and ready for all conditions and situations and winter tires are mandatory.

If you like hiking then you will find plenty of hiking trails here and camping opportunities both backcountry and campgrounds in the several provincial parks here.

PLEASE BE RESPONSIBLE AND FOLLOW ALL FIRE REGULATIONS AND ADVISORIES IN THE FIRE SEASONS AND ALL...

Near the top you cut through a crack in the mountain from north to south. For those who find the summit to needle peak is too frightening or confusing, or for those who are inexperienced or have kids, I recommend summiting flatiron peak next over instead as it has almost no technical requirements, is safer, and requires less physical effort, yet has almost the same views. This has to be one of the shortest but most rewarding...

Well worth the two to three hour hike to the unofficial campsite beside a small lake which is perfect for a swim after hiking. The trail starts at the road, apparently up to a few years ago you could drive up the spur road to the trail head but the 3 km road is not vehicle friendly, don't even attempt it, there were mudslides and washouts which have officially deactivated the road. The hike up to the lake is steep and challenging but a dirt trail. There are trails to Jim Kelly and...
