explore. With two pipelines, the Trans Canada Trail, the Kettle Valley Railway

enthusiasts challenged day after day! Try riding to nearby Tulameem (40km) for
a delicious burger at the Trading Post (250-295-6478). Explore Champion Creek
road to Treasure Mt. up steep switch backs to the old gold mine with awesome views
of Tulameen Peak. | Hiking
The hiking around this area is amazing! Ranging from a casual walk around the
lakes, to a challenging climb to summit one of the many wondrous peaks in the
area, the choice is yours! Try hiking to Little Douglas Lake (1.7 km) in the Upper
Coldwater Valley or Falls Lake (1.1km) for a shorter easy hike, or for the more
adventurous try Yak or Needle peak either of which will show you brilliant views
of the surrounding Cascade Mountains including Mt. Baker. |

Try your luck and strike it rich! Pan one of the numerous creek

in the area! There are literally hundreds of gold claims in the area that date
back to the early 1900’s! Keep your fingers crossed… you never know!
