• Fort Langley - This was the first area in the Lower Mainland settled by Europeans, with the fort constructed in 1827 by the Hudson’s Bay Company. Initially a fur trading post, it later became crucial for supplying other forts, the burgeoning farming community, and outfitting thousands of gold rush hopefuls pursuing their dreams of fortune.

• Abbotsford - As the vehicle passes the Clearwater Road highway exit, there might be a chance to spot a 47-foot-tall raspberry public art sculpture on the highway’s south side.

• Chilliwack - Approaching the small city of Chilliwack on the highway’s north side, with the smaller community of Sardis on the opposite side. During the gold rush, 30,000 miners passed through here en route to the gold fields.

• Hope - The town of Hope is a wise stop, as there won’t be another town for at least an hour and nothing substantial for at least two hours.

• Coldwater River Provincial Park - The valley’s base is home to the Coldwater River, named after the Coldwater Indian Band, who inhabited this area before European settlers arrived. Their story mirrors that of many other First Nations groups in Canada.

• Nicola River - Flowing through the town of Merritt, the Nicola River combines with the Coldwater River. This river has historically posed challenges for the town, often causing floods.

• Surrey Lake Summit - Reaching the Surrey Lake Summit, at an elevation of 1,440 meters or 4,737 feet, marks the highest point on the Coquihalla Highway. While winter can bring harsh conditions, the area is generally pleasant outside of the season.

• Logan Lake - Originally a mining camp, Logan Lake remains centered around mining, hosting North America’s largest open-pit copper mine.
