Coquihalla Summit Recreation Area, Mountain recreation area in Fraser Valley Regional District, Canada
The recreation area spans 5,750 hectares of forested slopes between Hope and Merritt, featuring granite peaks and diverse mountain landscapes at 1,244 meters elevation.
The region evolved from the Hope-Nicola Trail of 1876 to the Kettle Valley Railway route until 1961, leading to the recreation area establishment in 1987.
The name Coquihalla stems from Kw'ikw'iya:la in Halq'emeylem language, referring to a fishing rock near the Coquihalla River mouth.
The Falls Lake Trail extends 1.5 kilometers from the parking lot, leading to a small backcountry campground where visitors can fish for rainbow trout.
The area marks the transition between British Columbia's wet coastal climate and dry interior, containing four distinct biogeoclimatic zones with specific plant communities.
