Rumble Viral | A group of seniors conquer Mount Cheam, British Columbia @rumbleviral | Uploaded August 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 week ago.
Mount Cheam towers over the Chilliwack Valley, overlooking farmland and the village below. The peak is 2104m (69023 feet) above sea level. The climb is steep and challenging in places, and leisurely in others. Meadows, trees, shale slides, and natural stone stairs make the trail a mixture of terrain. Stopping to take in the view as you hike, this trail is 4.5km long and requires almost three hours to complete. Descending will take almost 2 hours. The view from the top is stunning. On a clear day, vistas and gorgeous mountain peaks are visible on one side and the Fraser Valley stretches out on the other side. The scenery is breath taking. Descending, the cool water in the small mountain lake at the bottom is inviting and refreshing for those who want to swim. Even the drive up the mountain to the starting point is an adventure. A jeep or a rugged truck is your best bet. It's 10km of steep areas with deep ditched areas to prevent flooded, washed-out roads. This group of four were not deterred by their "life experience". Guided by one younger member, the rest were sixty and over. They took their old bones over the boulders, shale slides, and root-covered trails all the way to the top. Creaking and groaning, they hiked back down, cooling their achy knees and feet in the lake before making the final leg back to the Jeep.
