The Mount Cheam Trail access point sits at the end of the Chipmunk Creek Forest Service Road in British Columbia's Chilliwack area.

Reaching it requires turning off Chilliwack Lake Road onto Foley Creek FSR, then following Chipmunk Creek FSR for approximately 8 kilometres to the end parking area.

The forest service road is notoriously rough and demands a rugged, high-clearance 4-wheel-drive vehicle — by many accounts, gaining access to the trailhead is more challenging than the hike itself.

From the parking area, the trail climbs through subalpine meadows, forests, and past glacial lakes, offering spectacular views of the surrounding peaks. The route is rated moderate and is well regarded for its wildflowers and alpine scenery.
