  Started Checking some Coquihalla Hikes...wow...... 2 hours from Van and amazing views. Take the Falls Lake exit, last before the toll booth and drive under highway and up the road (paved!) to the parking lot

Parking Lot Falls Lake Rd - the road you go up is in the left of the photo 110.30 KB

Ignore hiking path, but take this 4 wheel drive road 80 meters past hiking path 124.52 KB

Turn up the pipeline off the 4 wheel drive road and go about 500 meters uphill to the ridge and this cairn and path off to left 162.90 KB

  Believe it or not you have got the major elevation gain out of the way.. on to the amazing ridge walk..

It's the edge of the world..... 78.93 KB	Ever wonder how they get the distances for hikes... if you are good you use a modern "chain" system that loggers use... a fine cotton thread that winds out behind you and you read out what distance you have travelled. 219.50 KB	No, I don't know but it was pretty 102.48 KB
Humm, not shown but we passed some guys spraying stuff on the bushes on the pipeline... some modern herbacide to kill anything that might disturb the pipeline... cute results eh? 206.22 KB	Oh now that's hiking... a bath at the bottom... see next photo 90.47 KB	This is an overexposed shot of the pool, just off the parking lot... sigh hiking in heaven 170.21 KB
