Fraser Valley East
Together, the cities of Chilliwack, Mission and Abbotsford comprise the Fraser Valley East area. These three cities lie about an hour east of Vancouver, and provide an opportunity to escape the city in favour of some remarkable outdoor experiences ? while still being a short drive from popular urban areas.
Surrounded by the stunning mountain peaks of Mount Cheam and Slesse Mountain and the mighty Fraser and Vedder Rivers, Chilliwack offers a picturesque series of hiking trails that meander along the water and through lush, dense forests. Cultus Lake and Chilliwack Lake Provincial Park, in particular, provide unlimited opportunities for outdoor enthusiasts of all types ? from novice hikers to seasoned trekkers.
Nestled in the rugged Coast Mountains and across the Fraser River, you?ll find the city of Mission. The area?s coastal mountains, sprawling farmland and grand Fraser River make Mission a natural wonderland, boasting more than 30 parks and dozens of hiking trails.
Tucked perfectly between majestic mountain ranges on the wide plain of the Lower Fraser Valley is Abbotsford. Hiking and horseback riding opportunities abound here, especially through the scenic wilderness areas of Sumas Mountain Park and Chadsey Lake.
