Follow the old road from the forestry campsite to the alpine meadow, then continue west toward Big Bell, the farther summit at approximately 2,160 m. This adds mountain travel beyond the nearer Little Bell option. The route across the alpine is not consistently marked, and the source’s broad 8–12 km range does not identify a single measured Big Bell itinerary from every parking point.
1. Getting there and parking
Use Bell Mountain Road off Highway 16 west of McBride and follow the mountain-road approach toward the former forestry campsite and alpine access. Published distances vary by road starting point, with current tourism information describing the upper walking start near road kilometre 17. The lower parking around kilometre 4.5 serves different riding and skiing routes; four-wheel drive is recommended above it. Stop earlier if the road is unsuitable and add the extra road walk to the trip rather than applying the upper-start distance.
