Getting There

It's about 3 hours drive from the US border to Pemberton in the summer. In the winter, forget it on a bike! Take the Truck Crossing at Blaine border, and follow the signs to Whistler to avoid downtown Vancouver. Otherwise, just stay on Highway 99 all the way through Vancouver past Whistler to Pemberton. Detailed directions from Blaine, WA, with a map, can be found at this link on www.MapBlast.com.

If you're coming from further east or the north, you can come through Lytton on Highway 12, then take Highway 99 south to Pemberton. This is a fabulous ride. The riding in the whole area is great too.

Information about the area

BC Parks information page - Nairn Falls - Covers basic park info, location, facilities.

"Just 20 minutes north of Whistler is Nairn Falls Park. This park provides a good base camp for exploring Whistler, the Pemberton Valley or nearby Garibaldi Provincial Park. It is an excellent overnight stop before continuing onto the Duffey Lake Road or points north or south. The falls are 60 m high and a 1.5 km hiking trail will take you to the viewpoint.

Outside the park, One Mile Lake is 2km north on Highway 99. This is a popular area for swimming and picnicing. There are no lifeguards at this lake. The Sani Station is located 2 km north across from the "Petro Can" gas station. Other activities in the Pemberton area might include horseback riding, river rafting or mountain biking."

BC Adventure.com - "Nairn Falls is not to be missed. The waterfall that this park draws it's name from plummets over 50 metres into the valley below. Cast a fly line into nearby rivers or hike through the conifers of a B.C. forest."

Pemberton.net is the Pemberton & District Chamber of Commerce site, and has a fair number of links to activities in the area, as well as a map of Pemberton itself. "Nestled under majestic Mount Currie is the growing village of Pemberton. Pemberton hosts a wide variety of recreation activities including snowmobiling, horseback riding, skiing, golfing, hiking, rafting, jet boating, and gliding."
