Getting there
Follow Airport Way south from Revelstoke and continue until the end of the pavement. Take a left turn onto the Akolkolux FSR and follow the main road for 12.5km. Take a right and continue onto the Crawford FSR for 10km. Once at the major junction take a left and continue onto the McCrae FSR. The trailhead will be 10km up the road.
The Backroad Mapbook, or other mapping tools are recommended due to the numerous branch roads and the tendency of the directional signage to go missing.
This is an active industrial road - using a two-way radio with resource road channels is necessary.
All vehicles (motorized and non motorized) are restricted in the area during the snow-free months.
