We bought the 4x4 so that we could reach Trailheads that are not easily reached with a normal car. Many of these trailheads only have a special type of access road, the Forest Service Road (FSR). These roads are build by the logging companies to extract the trees from the forest. So not your typical Dutch 4 lane highway.. No Sir... Think big holes, cross ditches, waterbars.. If we would have started with a carton of milk we would have ended with whipped cream, that's for sure... Was it fun? YES, very much.. Did the car do well? Yes, only once we needed to shift into 4 weel drive, the rest was just clearance that was needed.

Mount Cheam is in the Fraser River valley, near Chilliwack. About 120km East of vancouver. To the exit of the highway we needed an hour and a half. The FSR took another hour :)

The hike itself was beautiful! Alpine meadow leading to a real summit. Unfortunately we didn't have a nice view, there were a lot of clouds that obstructed the view. Some short breaks gave us an idea of the valley view that we could have had :)

We don't know what we will do tomorrow.. We might go camping at Alice Lake.. Or maybe we stay here.. We will see.. The coming days will gradually get warmer (up to 30gr+).

Bye,
