The Columbia Valley extends from the southwest corner of Cultus Lake, east of Abbotsford,
British Columbia, across the 49th parallel border to northern Washington State. The valley also lies
between Vedder Mountain and the bulk of the Cascade Mountains. There is no direct border crossing in the valley and is mostly filled with a few
farms -- primarily the community of Lindell Beach who are located there. The characteristics
of the Columbia Valley are similar to that of the Fraser Valley but it is at somewhat
of a higher elevation.1
