The old Coquihalla Tollbooth used to create a pretty clean division between the "Thompson/Okanagan" and "Hope/Fraser Canyon" regions.
Now that it's gone, the current region layout leaves an artificial boundary between parts of the Anderson River Mountains.
I'm after some feedback/votes:
A) Leave it as is, placing the boundary where the tollbooth used to be. Zoa Peak = Hope/Canyon, everything North = Thompson/Okanagan
B) Move the boundary North on one side of Highway #5 to encompass Upper Coldwater road. This would move the following locations into the Hope/Canyon region: Llama, Alpaca, Little Douglas Lake, Vicuna, Guanaco, Coquihalla Lakes. Tulameen River FSR would left alone (not moved into Hope region).
C) Same as B, but even further north to catch July Mountain. This one is trickier since I don't think July Mountain is normally counted as one of the Coquihalla/Anderson Mountains. Probably no on C?
D) Move the boundary North to catch all of the hikes easily accessible off #5 from Hope. This would include: Llama, Alpaca, Little Douglas Lake, Vicuna, Guanaco, Henning, Coquihalla, Jim Kelly, Coquihalla Lakes, Illal Meadows, etc, etc.
My vote is B. What does everyone else think? |

| Well maybe make the boundary the Coquihalla Lakes which is where the tollbooth was anyway, or you could make it exit 228, which is the rest area exit as well as the exit for the backside of the Coquihalla/ Britton area. |
