Driving Directions heading west on Upper Levels Highway from Vancouver:

• Take Caulfield Exit #4
  Turn left onto Westport road
• At the 4-way stop go straight through and follow Westport road for about 1 ½ km
• Follow Westport under the highway and park in the small gravel lot on your right-hand side (there is a bike path and Trans Canada Trail sign in the parking lot)

Trail Directions:

• Go past the gate, & follow the wide trail under the Highway
• Go past the water towers and keep straight (don’t go over the bridge on your left)
• Follow the signs for the Trans Canada Trail east
• Take the Trans Canada Trail east for 10 minutes until you come to a large rotten stump on your left hand side.  Here you will see a trail going down to your left....take this trail.  There are no signs – we will have flagging and a marshal here on race day
• This trail crosses Nelson Creek over a huge fallen tree.  BE CAREFUL.  TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY - A FALL HERE COULD BE SERIOUS.  (we don’t want to be over dramatic, but you get the point)
• Follow the trail over Whyte Creek (pseudo bridge here) & Whyte Lake will be hidden on your right
• When you get to a very obvious fork in the trail, stay left & follow this until it meets the Baden-Powell (about 2 min down and around the corner)
• Turn right on to the Baden-Powell, and you’re on the 28 mile home stretch.
