It originates in the Coquihalla Lakes and empties into the Fraser River at Hope. The Coquihalla River forms the northern boundary of two portions of the Cascades, the Skagit Range and the Hozameen Range.[5][5] The river flows through a deep, narrow valley, dropping {{convert|3400|ft|m}} in {{convert|33|mi|km}}, a tumultuous course that creates an incessant roar.[6] Kw'ikw'iyá:la in the Halkomelem language of the lō, is a place name meaning "stingy container" or "stingy place". It refers specifically to a deep pool named Skw'éxweq or Skw'exwáq, near the mouth of what is now known as the Coquihalla River. The Stó:lō would go to this pool to spear suckerfish, which were plentiful there. According to Stó:lō oral history, the s'ó:lmexw (black-haired, 2-foot tall, dark-skinned underwater people) would grab the spears, preventing fish from being caught. Thus they were stingy with the fish. There were two other pools in the rivers where this was said to happen.[7]The Coquihalla Highway, which runs from Hope to Kamloops, derives its name from running alongside this river between Hope and the site of a former toll booth about {{convert|50|km|mi}} away. Portions of the motion picture First Blood were filmed there. See also
