[directions to the trailhead] from: Chilliwacks Vedder Bridge
] @Vedder Bridge turn left onto Chilliwack Lake Road and head east. At the 10.3K mark, right after crossing a bridge over the Chilliwack River, turn right (south) onto the Tamihi-Liumchen road.
] Zero odometer again. Take first left up Tamihi Creek FSR.
] At top of hill above switchbacks, take left road at three way junction. Follow this road for ~ 14K, taking all left road on next forks.
] There is a gate on ~5K, which is supposed to be closed from 6 pm till 6 am on weekdays and I found it closed on weekends
