Chilliwack gets a bad rep here in Vancouver, located one to two hours east/ south east it is known for big trucks, backwoods and burly men. I have never heard 'Chilliwack' and something positive in the same sentence, until I took a visit.

On a clear (not raining yet) Sunday I grabbed a fellow forestry/woodie buddy and headed out with low expectations. I had found a hike on the south end of Chilliwack Lake with potential old growth Firs and Cedars. But when we reached the lake it was still closed for the winter season.

I won't go into details but besides the fascinating lakes, steep terrain and many logging roads the valley offers a few spectacular waterfalls and even a few caves!
