Terrain: This hike is perfect for someone looking to get a decent workout outdoors with some picturesque views. There are dips and waves, but the majority of the hike is a pretty steady incline. The terrain is quite smooth (not many rocks or exposed roots). The trail is also mostly shaded, so I wouldn't bother bringing sunglasses. Time: If you are moving slow and steady with several short breaks, you can do the ascent in approximately 2 hours. If you move steadily at a quick pace (not running), you can reach the top in 90 minutes. I did see many people running up and down the trail, I am not sure how long it takes them though. The view from the top quite beautiful and overlooks cultus lake, the Vedder river, and Chilliwack. You can see mountains, farmland, and the developed areas of Chilliwack. My wife and I try to do this hike once a week, usually on a Saturday or Sunday morning, and its the perfect way to start the day!

A great place to walk along the world famous Vedder River. It’s a well maintained trail than has ample parking and portable WC’s along the way. There’s always something different to see, whether it’s fishermen catching salmon and Steelhead or the Bald Eagles doing the same.

The Wetlands was a nice surprise to discover. Its a great place to get out in nature and have a short or long walk, depending on how you feel. There are a number of different trails. The floating island provides a nice look out over the whole park. We saw many birds, and ducks. Its an excellent park to take the kids to.
