Access Issue: Overnight Parking/Camping Details

There have been reports of concerns of people parking overnight or camping on the gravel roadside pullouts along Highway 99. Please be aware that there is no overnight parking or camping allowed at these areas. Being an isolated area, there are a limited number of sites available at the only nearby campground, which likely has contributed to this. If you’re sleeping in your vehicle, the wonderful park operator, Birgit (pronounced: Beer-get), is happy to accommodate more people overnight in the day-use lots for the standard camping fee.

The Ministry of Transportation has the power to restrict parking along these roads entirely (including for day use), so please be sure to abide by their rules to ensure our continued access to this area.

Description

Marble Canyon is one of the most popular ice climbing spots on the West coast of BC.

The ice forms consistently from approx. mid-Dec until March, with multiple routes that can be top ropped (rare for West Coast Ice), all accessible within a day trip from Vancouver.

On a Saturday in January, you can often expect multiple parties top roping along the main wall. Keep an eye on the West Coast Ice FB page for updates on whether large groups of BCMC or VOC members are going for practice sessions.
