Trans Canada Trail Challange
From coast to coast to coast the Trans Canada Trail is one of Canada’s truly great endeavours. The Trans Canada Trail is a proposed 18,078-kilometre (11,233 mi) corridor in Canada. The creation of the trail was announced as part of Canada's 125th anniversary celebrations in 1992. It is expected that when complete, it will be the longest recreational trail in the world.
This series will take you along many different trails that are part of the TCT.
The Challange is to walk all of the TCT Trail in the Chilliwack River Valley.
Once you have found all the TCT caches in the Chilliwack River Valley you may log the TCTC: Chilliwack River Valley FINAL!!!
Please remember is it a natural trail, no motorized vehicles allowed.
Chilliwack Lake Trail
(Edge of campground at kiosk to Paleface Creek) = 6.7km
After following the trail in a lodgepole pine forest (quite unique in our west coast forest) on the east side of the Chilliwack Lake Provincial Campground, follow the north side of the Lake to Paleface Creek. The views over the lake are sensational.
