The Kids are almost out of School - you have Friends and Family Visiting this summer - Or wondering what to do and thinking of checking out the 'green grass' on your side of the fence?....Well I have to tell you its looking pretty green! Check out my posts on...  

Beautiful Cultus Lake - A Perfect Family Getaway - Chilliwack, B.C.  Need to get out of the Big City?  Well here's another little piece of paradise.  Nestled in the hills just south of Chilliwack is the beautiful jewel of Cultus Lake!

 

And While you're There - Cultus Lake Waterslides...

 

The Vedder-Chilliwack River - The Most Popular River in the Lower Mainland - Chilliwack, B.C. ~This post is a little peek at the Vedder - Chilliwack River (names used interchangeably).  The Vedder-Chilliwack is not two separate streams like its name suggests, but simply a name change partway up the river. A bridge crosses the river where it leaves the mountain valley and flows onto the Fraser Valley flood plain. Below the bridge the river is called the Vedder; above the bridge it is known as the Chilliwack. . No matter what you call it the river is wonderful. 

The Village of Yarrow - Chilliwack - B.C. ~ Just a few minute drive from Chilliwack and a couple of miles down the road from Cultus Lake....is the little village of Yarrow.  With a beautiful picturesque setting it set amids a backdrop of panoramic mountains and Valley views.

Sardis Park - A Walk in the Park - A Million Shades of Green - Chilliwack, B.C. ~ A Walk in The Park .... Just a couple of hundred yards away I'm fortunate enough to have 5 hectares of park and pond right in my back yard!   Not only does it have a perfect walking/jogging trail.........

The Mute Swans live in the park year round Park gives a wonderful view and insight into the different species of wild fowl that make this their home. 

Chilliwack's Hope Slough - the Heart of Fairfield Island  is an amazing series of meandering waterways that drain the area between Chilliwack and Rosedale ...

So pack a picnic lunch, grab a book - bring your dog and pick your favorite bench......or ...throw down a blanket....and just savor...

Bridal Falls - A Site to Behold - Hope - Chilliwack - B.C. ~ Beautiful Bridal Falls is another one of those places I have driven by a dozen times a month, and yet its been 25 years since I last took the time to take the small hike and revel in their splendor...

O.k. so turn of the t.v. and computer....and come and explore! :-)

Liz, I think your overall mild climate gives you this great nature. Absolutely all stunning photos. So much great takes with the water too.

That waterfall is pretty spectacular. There is something about growth and seasons that can really break up the monotony.I think we plan around change sometimes. I would have to think your area is just as amazing in visual aesthetics in Winter as well.

What a wonderful and stunning area you live in.  I only had the opportunity to be in Vancouver which I also found amazing.  But your photos have me wanting to plan another BC trip.

Best to you

Beautiful photos, Liz.  Now I know why everyone leaves Florida and heads back to BC in the summer time, but a little too far for me to go at this time...someday.

Wow, you sold me!  What gorgeous country you live in!  Mine is the simple desert, beautiful in it's own way...but I sure do miss the green. 

Thanks for sharing these gorgeous photos!

OK, I went looking for it.  It is beautiful ... I don't know how you can move away from a place like this (not that any place in BC is less beautiful ...).

(SIGH) the more I look at water, the more I want to see the ocean.  is it Spring yet?
