You will be required to hike to the summit of Elk Mountain in the Eastern Fraser Valley of British Columbia. The trail to the top is in good condition but be prepared for this hike.
To get to the trail head take Highway 1 East past Chilliwack and take Exit 123. Turn south onto Prest Road. After 4km turn left onto Baily Road and then take the right fork onto Elk View Road. Stay on the main road as it travels through Ryder Lake Community. Once past the Ryder Lake Fire Hall you leave the blacktop and enter onto the Chipmunk Creek Forest Service road. The first parking area you see is your trail head. The coordinates for the trail head are:
N49.06.294 W121.49.248
Return trip to the summit of Elk is 8km with an average grade of 20%.
The best place to grab a handful is up by the windsock where the paragliders jump!
