Was heading out to the Great Blue Heron Reserve near Chilliwack when I realized that it doesn't open until ten in the morning. As I am an early bird I looked for somewhere else to go in the area until it would open. So I spent some time at the Cheam Lake Wetlands.
Not sure which peak this is but when driving west on Hwy #1 from Hope BC these peaks are to the left of Mount Cheam. Maybe Lady Peak or Baby Munday Peak or something else.

When one drives down the Hwy #1 from Hope BC you will see this massive mountain. I have attempted to photograph it several times.
CN 5296 West rolls through Cheam View in the eastern end of the Fraser River Valley on a gloriously sunny winter day. I was most likely returning from a trip photographing the British Columbia Railway and headed home to the greater Seattle area when I stumbled upon this scene providing great weather and nice light, so pulling over and taking a photo was not hard to resist. This photo was taken years before the Co-Production agreement between CN Railway and CPRail where trackage would be shared on each other's parallel routes between the greater metropolitan Vancouver area and Kamloops, BC. Photo taken on. January 2, 1985
Looking east towards the Chilliwack Mountains from our home on Sumas Prairie in Abbotsford, British Columbia. (24-11-08-3149)
Another failed attempted to find Mountain Bluebirds at the Hope Airpark. I dropped into Lake Cheam and the light was full of mist making photographing challenging. I did capture this Bald Eagle perched in it's giant nest with the snowy mountains around Popkum in the background.

The autumn hues on a recent hike up Mt.Cheam were truly spectacular. In the distance from left to right are Mt.Slesse then in the far distance Nooksack Tower and Mt.Shuksan then back in the near distance American Border Pk., Canadian Border Pk., Mt. Larrabee and Mt Tomyhoi.
Driving into the Lake Cheam Wetlands Park, this Muscovy Duck was at the side of the road doing some preening. Was he leaving the farm to move to the park? or was he just waiting for his owners to come home?
a few minutes after the previous image, the light crept over the western ridges. Not a dramatic, overblown light, but a nice gentle wakening of the skies and the valley below.
The Peaks of the Mount Cheam Range tower over farmland in Chilliwack. The peaks are (from L to R): Cheam Peak (LhÃlheqey), Lady Peak, Knight Peak, and Welch Peak. Mount Archibald is in front of the Cheam Range between Knight and Welch Peaks. Photographed from Hillkeep Regional Park in Chilliwack, British Columbia, Canada.

Deroche, BC Canada
The Cheam Range is a mountain range in the Fraser Valley region of the Lower Mainland of British Columbia near the city of Chilliwack. The region is also a part of the Skagit Range of the Canadian Cascades and contains many rugged peaks.
Deroche is a farming and railway community on the Canadian Pacific Railway and BC Highway 7 located approximately 100 km east of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
Deroche is adjacent to the eastern end of Nicomen Island, from which it is separated by the Nicomen Slough (NB a different location 3 km away was known as Deroche Landing).
The community is at the foot of Nicomen Mountain and is immediately across the river from Chilliwack Mountain.
The original name of Deroche was Derocier, but the local CPR station was given the current name to honour Joseph Deroche, who settled there in the early 1880s and had moved to BC from Quebec, Canada in 1860 during the gold rush. Deroche died on March 19, 1922, age 99, and some of his descendants still live in the area.
One of the most spectacular views in the Fraser Valley, Mount Cheam offers a 360-degree panoramic view from Chilliwack and the communities along the Fraser River, Jones Lake, the surrounding peaks, and Mount Baker to the south.
