Skaha access?

[glassgowkiss]

Is the new parking lot to Skaha Bluffs open yet? What is the situation with fee for parking?

Last I gathered around thanksgiving is that the old parking lot is still in use ( that's where we parked) and it's 10.00 per day. I believe the "new" parking has been abandoned or at least delayed because of property owners disputes! Too bad cause you still gotta hammer up the heart attack stairway to heaven. Hope that helps.

New parking lot is built and should open this weekend?

 

It's a new access (next road to the south)

new parking lot is at base of Peach Buttress - 5 min walk from wave and Fortress, no more stairs.

 

parking is $5/day now?

 

check skaha.org for the details.

Dru, I checked skaha.org before posting. Last entry was from Mar 8th, stating that the road was still snowed up and the lot will be re-opened later in March. No news on fees, and no updates since March 8th.

I heard it's warming up there but that pic from the 8th does look like a lot of snow.

webcam shows pretty much no snow as of yesterday on hills around Penticton. So if there is now snow is the lot open then automatically?
