Schrödinger's Tree

Don't stop walking just because the audio started! The GPS doesn't know what side of the tree you're on.Walk to the right and find the trail going around to the back where you can see the small hole at the base of the tree.

Getting There

You'd think that with a GPS-based tour there would be no need for directions on how to get to the start, but you'd be surprised at how many people have difficulty finding it.The tour starts from Parking Lot #5. Drive up Cypress Bowl Road past the 4th switchback. Parking Lot #5 is the first driveway on your left. If you see the KM 11 signpost or the big hydro lines crossing the road, then you've gone too far.It helps to know a couple of things about the area before you arrive. Parking Lot #5 has no sign. Parking Lot #5 has no washroom. Mobile network coverage in the area is limited to nonexistent. The gate to Parking Lot #5 is usually locked to prevent illegal dumping, so many people park outside the gate, being careful not to block it. Dogs are not allowed in the Conservancy. Please leave your pets at home.Please download the tour beforehand. Cypress Mountain Ski Area is the closest location with good cellular service and public washrooms.
