Details
About the hike:
Jim Kelly Peak and Illal Mountain are a duo of peaks located near Coquihalla Pass, set within a scenic area known as Illal Meadows. While easily doable as a day hike, many parties choose to camp in Illal Meadows and spend a couple of days exploring one (or more) of the nearby peaks. These two peaks are generally suitable for all parties, though Jim Kelly Peak does involve some fairly straightforward class 2 scrambling.
