How do you get to Hope Creek from Golden?
I can see on the GSTS that it's west but where do you turn off hwy 1?
Sounds like a smaller trailer would be better for a trip up there.

Been to quartz lots and silent a few times and looking for something new.

How's the drive compared to silent?

Go north from Golden towards Revy. After passing the new weight station take your second right. If you go over the Columbia river bridge you've gone too far.
Head straight on the Bush River Forest service road, staying on the main road and avoiding turn offs until you hit the 55km or 56km marker. One of the two.
Anyways park there as there is a small road up to the right.....will have sled tracks on it. Thats the Hope road. From just head up the road and explore.
Make sure you park as far off to the side as possible as Chatter Creek uses and maintains the road in winter so they need to get machinery by.

silver mines,gorman/Lang,valenciennes (passed hope creek).
drive to hope is ruff.with all the rain and little snow down low lots of pot holes wash board,but worth the terrain out there you'll run out of gas before ever seeing it all.no stupid heli show around hope:d
