Your thumbnail maps of the Coquihalla cams appear incorrect. Isn the summit east of the “Coquihalla Lakes” location?
A. The maps are correct — the summit is west of the Coquihalla Lakes location (The old toll plaza area). However, if you are driving the corridor, the topography in the area can be a bit deceiving. Travelling east and once you get to the summit, the highway grade drops very slightly, then the grade increases again. Once you pass the Coquihalla Lakes area, the grade drops again and continues to do so noticeably. Because of this it can “feel” like the the Coquihalla Lakes area is at or near the summit. The the elevation at the summit is 1244 m. Elevation at the toll plaza is +/- 1132 m. about a 100 m drop over 6 km’s, which in BC is difficult to notice.
