Getting there
Hislop Road Access:
From Highway 16 just east of Telkwa, turn on to Tyhee Lake Road, then on to Hislop Road. Drive to the top of Hislop Road. At this point there is a trailhead and a parking lot and further info posted on the trailhead. There are upper parking lots from here as well but these are 4WD and winter tire accessible only.
Babine Lake Road Access:
From Highway 16, drive 11km up Babine Lake Road to the turnoff for Banner Mountain Lodge. There is parking just at the fork in the road which turns to the lodge. At this end of the network trails are more difficult and remote, so be prepared.
