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
- 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.
