Greg Leino, Ken Willis, and I had heard about Slesse Creek and its views and approaches to such mountains as Slesse, and the Canadian and American Border Peaks, so we packed up my mom and dad's 55 Pontiac station wagon and headed for Chilliwack. We turned south through Vedder Crossing and soon found ourselves driving up the Chilliwack River Road.When we turned off onto the Slesse Creek road, the views were magnetic. The mountains were a step up or two from the Golden Ears! Slesse itself appears forbodding, especially with its history of having an airliner crash into it. The American and Canadian Border peaks are equally impressive, but they at least have more snow on them, making them appear more attractive.We were soon impressed by the number of waterfalls plunging down from the Plaides and Larabee and headed in that direction.For us, we were exploring new territory and the adventure in that cannot be beat.
