Follow the steep gravel road to the old North Sister lookout. The road can also carry off-road vehicles. This stops at North Sister and excludes the South Sister col and final scramble. The lookout is described as emergency shelter, not a reservable overnight hut.
1. Getting there and parking
Follow Bowron Lake Road approximately 17 km from its Highway 26 junction, then turn left onto the 2400 Road at marker 2476. Road markers count downward on this approach. About 4 km in, at 2472, a sign points to parking below the road. The trail society describes space for two cars at the trailhead around 500 m farther, but use it only if current industrial traffic and parking conditions permit. The access road remains a working road; leave room for vehicles to pass.

Camping and tenting

Measurement notes
The club’s unscoped 7 km and 930 m claims are not assigned to this option. Obtain current access information; parking position can add road walking.
