Directions:
Grasslands
From Kamloops, drive west from Downtown following the direction signs across the South Thompson River to North Kamloops and the Airport. At the junction with 8th Avenue, turn North on 8th following the road signs to Westsyde. After 1km there is a major junction. Keep North to Batchelor Drive which becomes Lac Du Bois Road. The route will be marked with O signs from there. Follow the road to about 7k. There is a small parking area off the road, but if this is full, park by the road.
Alternatively you can follow Highway 5 about 5k north of Kamloops to the major junction at Halston Ave where you turn west. Cross the North Thompson River bridge and follow the signs to Westsyde, turning off Halston Ave about 500 m after crossing the N. Thompson. Once on the road north to Westsyde you drive 100m North toward the major junction with Batchelor Drive.
