Cheam Peak, Mountain in British Columbia, Canada
Cheam Peak is a mountain in the Skagit Range of the Canadian Cascades in British Columbia, Canada. It has a pyramidal shape with four faces, the north being the steepest, and a spur that ends in the Red Pyramid.
The mountain was named after the Cheam First Nation, whose territory includes the surrounding land. It has long been a landmark for people travelling through the Fraser Valley.
The peak is one of the Four Sisters, a group of mountains that form a familiar backdrop for villages in the Fraser Valley. On clear days, the outline of these peaks can be seen from Vancouver Island.
The access road is rough and often requires a high-clearance vehicle. Hikers should be well prepared, as the terrain is steep and exposed in places.
Spoon Lake sits in a subalpine bowl below the summit, a small body of water that many visitors miss. The peak is the northernmost of the Cheam Range, which stretches behind the ridge to Wahleach Lake.
