Thanks for posting the images. It was a excellent trip and the weather was great considering the elevation and time of year. I sure enjoyed the hut... very clean and nice to sleep in. Look forward to traveling up there again some time.

| Nice pics,everyone.Just thought I'd ask what the road in is like,and how long it is?Thinking about taking my bike up there to check things out,although of course the trail up would strictly be suited to hiking,I'm guessing.Interesting destination,Spidergirl,where did you first hear about it?

Mick, you'll need a key to open the gate, you should contact Julia. Here are directions from her web site:
Directions:
Take the Sea to Sky highway past the Furry Creek Golf Course, up the hill and then take your first right. At the 't' junction turn right. The red gate should be right there. You do need a key to open the gate. Contact me for more info. Drive for about half an hour, keeping left until you get to a stream crossing the road. Park here and continue hiking up the road until you see the trail branching off on your left.
