This is the main access road for this western portion of the park and conservatory area. Going in the counterclockwise direction indicated gives you more down than up and is recommended if you are doing a loop with Kruger West. A lot of flora and fauna here depending on the time of your visit. Also outstanding views of the Similkameen Valley, Chapaka Peaks, The Great Snowy Wilderness and even a glimpse of the North Cascades way off in the distance.
Access Info
