Getting There
Getting There
Shhhhh! Its a secret. When you want to get away from it all and explore some of the most challenging and exciting terrain available, head to the best kept secret stash of snow on Vancouver Island. Mount Cain is only open on weekends so you have fresh tracks on Saturday no matter when it snowed over the week.
Driving
Mount Cain is located on the northern portion of Vancouver Island, about 75 km NW of Sayward (roughly half-way between Campbell River and Port McNeill). Mount Cain is easily accessed from Highway 19 and is located 8 km south of the Woss turnoff. It's a 16 kilometer drive on a gravel road from the Highway 19 turnoff to the lodge. The road is regularly maintained by the mountain's maintenance department. From Nanaimo its about 2.5 hours to the Mount Cain turnoff. By the way, chains are mandatory on the last part of your journey.
Shuttles
They do offer a shuttle system but its hours are sporadic - best to check in with the resort to confirm exact details.
