Turn left on Squamish Valley Road and reset your odometer, following it for 26.5 km.

It is better to plan ahead, instead of making last minute decisions in what is usually a worst-case-scenario.

Please indicate if you have a vehicle. Only once you have been added to the Going list, should you contact carpool drivers to add your name to their vehicle.
