sick!!!
Beautiful hike, I did this with a few friends 10 years ago, can't wait to go back after watching your video
Awesome video!! Thanks. Definitely on my list now.... I just moved to Chilliwack and I’m so happy I saw this video 😁😁👍👍👍
Awesome! Nice review! Haha I had a smile all along the video
Nice video of one of my favourite hikes; gone up there six times in the last 8 weeks.
Great video! Looks like a very nice hike with rewarding views !!
I’m still shocked chilliwack has such a awesome hike. it a very rewarding hike
Looks Awesome I’m gonna check it out
Yeah if you’re ever in the area it’s definitely something you should check out! Where are you from anyways?
YOU have a great energy. I enjoyed this video very much. Well done
Very beautiful panorama
such a gooood hike
Thank you Doug helpful information for my upcoming Chilliwack venture on Saturday
I got all my assistance from the B.C. Speleological Federation.
I camped at Chilliwack Lake in the 2007 with my Nephew. early in the morning i was awake and heard Bigfoot call across the lake, it was no human from the intense volume and length of the howl ....in First Nations folklore if you hear him you are blessed.
If you remain at your campsite and maybe 50 to one hundred feet away place some gifts.
This is the way to let them know that You come in peace, as they are Benevolent and only Use methods of non violent means, to let you know they are not Happy.
Please move on. However you can become friends, if you are positive minded, come in peace and offer them food, fruit, objects like marbles, shiny buttons, placed on a stump or large flat rock.
I hope you try some of these signs from you that they can understand as a peace offering. Good luck and be Blessed by this Monster you say. lol I have been blessed at Chilliwack Lake BC Canada in the heart of our Bigfoot Territory. First Nations say if you hear them you are blessed as they know and sense where you are. !
fun video!
Haha thanks I’m glad you like it
I've driven past there several times on my way to or from Alaska. Now live in Arizona, but that whole area along the Fraser river ( up to the dryer interior ) is spectacular...
Hey John. The entire drive up is spectacular! How'd you end up finding this video anyways?
@@youtubebydoug Hey, It popped up on UA-cam. Great vid. Thanks!!
awesome video dude!!
Hey thanks =)
sweet, can't wait to go to Switzerland later this month!
See their public-use national defense mountain fortifications.
Which BC lacks so you can see why Swiss are harder to beat.
Rob I's UA-cam channel paints a much different picture of Chilliwack :-)
Lol this is true. I thought I’d try and balance things out
used to live about 3-4 blocks away from Rob's location and yes have to say Chilliwack has gone down hill
@@eliseferrari8510 it’s the downtown area especially, glad we have these beautiful spots to get away from time to time though!
Everyone look's like they've been through the ringer in Chilliwak. Rough
I've seen all the great trails out there in Chilliwack but have yet to try any, I got a chuckle at the jeep parked there though lol! Here you are going up an incline and someone decided to take a shortcut. 😅 Snow though! Yipes!
That jeep's a smart cookie. I was just jealous I never knew about that road or I would have done the same thing hahaha. Any other things to do recommendations in Chilliwack that you heard of?
@@youtubebydoug Unfortunately I am still discovering through the alltrails app and youtube haha 😅 pls keep sharing! 😀
Trails? I use Dunlop 606 rubber knobby to motorcycle amid forest.
I also appreciate all public-use allowed by the Ts'elweyegw. Eh ?
How did you find this? Thanks for sharing. On my bucket list now, so excited because I love hikes like these that have inclines and amazing views.
oh you’re going to love this hike. I don’t think it’s really a secret in the Fraser valley it just most people from Vancouver tend to go towards Squamish
An even better hike in the Chilliwack area is Mt. Cheam....incredible views, but difficult to reach the trailhead without a 4x4. The condition of the road can vary from year to year; and don't bother trying before the mid to end of June as there is one stretch of road that doesn't get any sunlight until that time, so it's filled with deep snow.
Mt. McGuire is also a beautiful hike, but ever since the road got wiped out in 2008, it's been tough to get to the trailhead....don't know if the road even exists past the last bridge - which collapsed 2 years ago.
Slesse/Redoubt/MacFarlane are also nice hikes with awesome views.
Ford Mountain is a nice short hike...but trailhead is also difficult to reach. Lots of great hikes in Chwk...Elk is the easiest to get to.
True. I've hiked and used my street legal motorcycle to go there. One winter walk had me picked-up by a ATV. Operated by a female bush pilot on her vacation time. I showed her a
nice limestone cave and she allowed me a nicer day outing.
When we did that hike the fast people went down and got the truck and drove up to the spot where you saw the Jeep.
Hahaha I believe it. I can't remember how fast we were going but I think we were so of taking our time? I have a feeling these days a lot of people are skipping the normal parking lot and parking along that road
That’s a cool hike. Would have been a plus to point out Mt Cheam, but what a view !!
I'm actually shocked at how much love this video has been getting. I'll definitely have to do a Mt Cheam video haha
After I hiked up there I could barely walk for two days from sore leg muscles.
ahhh I know the feeling! hopefully it was worth it!
All that’s missing to complete the Swiss experience is the yodeling 😆
haha very true!
My mom is German and I remember as a child that she used to yodle for us kids.
She was pretty good too.
Thanks for reminding me of those good memories.
Take care. 💗
Is that bird seed you guys brought for the birds? 😍
there is a third one. I made it to 2nd too yeeeeeears ago
Me reading the title thinking I will feel like a Swiss Alps elk lol
I did that hike last year but didn't go to the top.
The hikes not as bad as it looks. Once you get to the first view point you pretty much walk along the top of the mountain for the rest of the way. I definitely recommend giving it another try
Nice video of elk man 🙌 I too made a video about elk mountain on my page
How many kilometers do this take ?
I can’t remember the exact amount but in the video I think we timed this hike. there’s the first view point in this video which should only take a few hours going up if I remember correctly but we kept hiking along the ridge near the top of the mountain
That is the best thai place around
Yeh good thai restaurant in Chilliwack. Always go there after long hikes
Haha well good to know. We honestly total stumbled across this place
Great video man! How’s the drive going up there? Is it off roading? Would a sedan be okay to drive there?
only the last 5 minutes is on a dirt road but a sedan won’t have any problem making it to the trail head. Let me know how it goes!
@@youtubebydoug appreciate the reply! and thanks will do :)
NICE IF YOU FIND THE BEAR WHERE TO GO UMMM NO BATROOMS?
it’s a pretty well traveled trail and bears tend to avoid people. not saying you’ll run into one but unlikely especially during the summer. oh there’s bathrooms at the top!
Oh its not a secret haha
Probably not now it's even less of a secret
I live in the wack and there's a lot more great places go go
Can you 4X4 up their
The main trail I went up was just a hiking trail but there might be a off road trail I don't know about in the area. You wouldn't be able to get to the top but still be in the area.
@@youtubebydoug thank you
Hey I can see Rob I's house.
I'm pretty sure Rob should just run for mayor. He'd win in a landslide.
Any opportunity to escape the tweakers and gangster wannabe's in the town of Chilliwack is welcome!
Great tell all not cool don’t go secret
Please don’t feed the birds
As nice as this looks I've seen enough videos of Chilliwack to know not to go there
Haha no one can compete with rob and his videos
why not go?
@@galactus192 You've obviously never seen Rob I's videos then
@@MrThedwp link
@@galactus192 It really can't be that hard to just type Rob I into UA-cam can it?
Well, don't call it "chilliwack". You left chilliwack to go up in the mountains.
Chilliwacky is a meth town.
