Harrison Hill

Harrison Hill is a 622-metre height in British Columbia’s Lower Mainland at the meeting of the Harrison and Fraser rivers, opposite Chilliwack. With Harrison Knob projecting from its eastern side, it overlooks the confluence and Harrison Bay, linking it closely to nearby communities, Lake Errock, Harrison Mills, and the Canadian Pacific Railway corridor along its base. The hill and knob are also significant archaeological ground, containing Coast Salish mound cemeteries known as the Scowlitz Mounds or Fraser Valley Pyramids, with 198 earth-and-stone burial mounds in 15 clusters dating from about 1000 to 1500 years before present. The area remains closely connected to First Nations communities.
