Getting There (and Back)
Transportation
Canmore is about 110 km west of Calgary; bus and limo services are available, including regular service from the Calgary airport. Golden, BC is about 280 km west of Calgary and Donald, BC is located about 30 km west of Golden. Parking and Pick-up Points Overnight parking in Canmore or Golden is scarce. So Skyline Hikers recommends that hikers try to use one of the alternates below:
Parking is allowed at the helipad in Donald. You must notify your Trip Coordinator of your pick-up point at least two weeks before the trip start date (earlier if possible) or your intent to drive and park at the heliport. The bus pick-up points are as follows:
Hikers should avoid tight travel arrangements for their continued trip home. Accommodations You will need accommodation and meals for the night before the hike (including breakfast on the morning of departure). Reservations need to be made well in advance. Hikers return in the afternoon and, depending on personal travel arrangements, may also need a hotel room for this night. See more details on the Staying There page. |
