Directions & Parking

How to Get Here


Getting here is simple.

 

We are an easy 45-minute drive north of Vancouver. Take the Trans-Canada #1 to Horseshoe Bay then veer onto Hwy 99. Known as the Sea-to-Sky Highway, you'll cruise alongside beautiful Howe Sound. When you pass Furry Creek you will be just 5 minutes away. So you don't miss us, we put the biggest truck you've ever seen right in our front yard.

 

From Whistler

Coming from Whistler, head south on Hwy 99. Find us about 10 minutes south of Squamish.

 

You will find plenty of free parking on-site.
