Climbing up Needle Peak
Channel: Hike with Clive

Needle Peak is situated in the Coquihalla Summit Recreation area in British Columbia, Canada. I've always wanted to make a trip there, particularly for the fun scramble up to the peak above. This was a 2.5 hour drive from downtown Vancouver but was well worth the trip. While the view at the top of the scramble is spectacular and panoramic, you can still see amazing views of the surrounding mountains before climbing up the scramble. The Coquihalla Summit Recreation area also offers other areas to explore including Flatiron peak, Yak peak, and Zoa peak.
