Coquihalla Summit Recreation Area

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The Coquihalla Summit Recreation Area spans 5,750 hectares across the Coquihalla Pass, and is a breathtaking transition zone between the coastal and interior mountains of British Columbia. Established to conserve the unique dry-belt alpine landscape, it offers convenient access to popular high-country trails, including Zoa, Needle, and Flatiron. With its granite ridges, subalpine forests, and remnants of the historic Kettle Valley Railway, this area is a beautiful destination for hikers, snowshoers, and travelers along Highway 5.

Thar Mountain Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

This viewpoint just before the Zoa Peak summit is a fantastic spot where the trail opens onto a wide alpine bench with big views toward Thar Peak and distant ridges. It’s a natural spot to take a short break that’s flat and open, with space to sit and take in the scale of the Coquihalla Range. Many hikers stop here, especially in winter, when the final push to the summit can be less defined.

Zoa Peak

Highlight • Summit

Zoa Peak is a broad, open summit in the Coquihalla Range with fantastic open alpine views, especially toward Thar, Nak, and Zum Peaks. It’s not a dramatic peak, but the alpine vantage is worth the steady climb. The top levels out with scattered boulders and sky that goes on forever—it’s an easy place to linger before heading back down the trail.
