From Salmo take Highways #6 and #3 southeast for 37 km to
Stayleep pass at Bridal Lake.
Park in the plowed area on the left side of the highway. From the junction of Highways #3 and #3A north of Creston take highway #3 northwest for 42.5 km
to the pass at Bridal Lake. Park in the plowed area on the north side of the
highway. From the parking area, cross the highway towards the south. The gravel road accessing the cabins begins immediately
to the right of the Highway's maintenance yard. Take this road 3.2 km to the top of the ridge where
it levels off and before it drops into the next valley. Look for the trail into the cabins on the
right at this point. The old cabin lies about 200 metres from the access road, and the new cabin
about 100 metres further. View a map. |

This recreation area contains two cabins for public use. The cabin closer to the road
is an old cabin managed in co-operation with the Creston Valley Ski Club. The newest cabin was built
to replace the old cabin once it becomes unsafe to use. Picture
