Getting here is half the fun
Close to home, far from everydayGetting to Grand Forks is easier than you might think. We’re tucked into Boundary Country, right at the intersection of Highway 3 and fun! Drive in, slow down and enjoy the scenery along the way. No traffic jams or airport chaos, just open roads, big views and a pretty great place at the end of it all.
Driving from the West
A few hours and one world awayComing from Vancouver? About 6 hours. Hope? Around 4 hours. Osoyoos? About an hour and a half. Cross mountain passes, wind through open valleys and watch the landscape shift as you head east. Then, just when you think the road trip can’t get any better, you arrive in Grand Forks.
Welcome to paradise. Mountain views, tiny towns and plenty of “Whoa, look at that” moments included.
Driving From The East
From green to goldenComing from Calgary? About 7 hours. Cranbrook? Around 4 hours. Nelson? About an hour and a half. Head west through the Kootenays and watch the landscape change from lush mountain country to sunny, semi-arid valleys, farms and wide-open skies.
