ZONK Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 Need any info anyone can provide on driving from Leavenworth. Like the best and fastest route. And how about the Border Crossing on HWY 31 is this open 24 hours? Thanks in advance ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 I like going up through Metalline Falls. I don't have a map in front of me, but this route goes to Spokane and turns North. The border crossing is quaint. Follow signs to Nelson. Have a blast! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-spotter Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 Bring ice cause it is +35 celsius here right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulB Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 As opposed to Thursday morning, when it was around 15 degrees and raining at the Gimli trailhead, despite promises by Environment Canada of "clearing after midnight". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crack Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 nice place -was up there recently...the entrance through metaline falls on highway 31 is closed from midnight-8am! Â gimli: easy to get to, super chill approach (a tubby 1.5 hours)in tennis shoes. shitty weather arriving a day earlier than we forecasted canned our tick; the first pitch was fun and solid 5.9 climbing. *maybe* an ice axe on the descent; we didn't bring any pons. Â canadien hippies are needy and weird. there are loads of them around them parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-spotter Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 At least there's wifi for spray fixes... not at the trailhead though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bstach Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 What is the guidbook I need for this area? i.e. if I wanted to *find* the trailhead for Gimli, where do I find the info? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZONK Posted July 17, 2006 Author Share Posted July 17, 2006 Thanks Bro's for the info, +35 will for sure will bring the ice for the beer! WTF closing the border at midnight ! cant wait to get up there and climb on old Gimli, I hear its nice dispite the TR I found ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nolanr Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 I think there's a tourist info office in Nelson that has little pamphlet's about the local Provincial Parks w/ maps and directions to trailheads. Gimli is out there in the middle of nowhere but not too hard to find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
