Vernon, six mile road.
Kelowna, Bear Creek.
Nickelmine.
Head North out of Hope on Hwy 1 for about 12kms (Towards Hells Gate). Turn Left onto BC Nickelmine Road (After Texas Creek). Take the paved road and keep following it until it turns to gravel. Follow the gravel road up the hill until you get to a 2 way fork in the road. Stay to the right and that will take you up the short road to the riding area (4x4 only recommended - the top of the hill can be rough). Or choose to follow the road to the left and this will take you to the riding area via the long road. This long road is recommended for campers, trailers and some cars. It is a slow steady climb that winds up the mountain. From here you can find many areas to park your vehicle for the day or even camp overnight. The gated area at the Tailings Pond is a campground.
