The Coquihalla Summit Recreation Area was established in order to protect the Coast-Cascade dry belt landscape and provide break opportunities for travelers along the new Coquihalla Highway. The area presents a beautiful setting for wildlife viewing.
Visitors may find it interesting to know that this area transitions between the coastal and southern interior environment which has four different biogeoclimatic zones. The impressive granite peaks and historic features such as the Kettle Valley Railway and Coquihalla Highway weave through this scenic landscape.
