Difficulty: B2 moderate
Time: 2 hours one way
Drive: From Castlegar, take Columbia Ave. (Hwy22) south towards Trail, just after the speed limit increases from 60 km/h to 70 km/h turn right onto 37th St, and keep left as you go up the hill. Drive to the end of the pavement.
From Trail watch for the turn lane for 37th Street on your left just as you reach the bottom of the hill after the speed limit drops from 90kmh to 70kmh.
