Jessi and Sunshine, 2008
Old Entrance "Rosie" Sunrise, Jan. 2009
Rosie and Mule Deer April 2009
Great
camping spot! Our location at Old Entrance is virtually mosquito
free due to lack of nearby standing water and our mountain
breezes. Our
main house is a restored historic 1914 "Entrance" railway
station,
the original "Gateway to the Rockies", located on the long
abandoned
Canadian Northern Railway grade. The CNR trans-continental rail
line
is operational on the original GTPR line on the opposite side of
the
river from Old Entrance. The trains are obscured from view by
the
forest but they can be heard at Old Entrance location passing by
from time to time throughout the day and night. Noise from the
trains is not noticeable inside of our house or cabins but can
be
fairly loud outside and along the river's edge.
We offer private fully-serviced cabins, a rustic cabin, two bedroom guest suite in our main house, cozy riverside teepees and riverside campsites in a very safe environment. Each unit is set up independently and suitable for the maximum occupancy number specified. We do not have facitities for and therefore discourage large group gatherings. Old Entrance is a scenic historic site along the Athabasca River, a ten minute drive from Hinton's Parks West Mall and 18-hole golf course. The east gate of Jasper National Park is a fifteen minute drive on Highway #16 and world famous Miette Hot Springs is a half hour away. We're conveniently located near the trans-Canada Yellowhead Highway #16 between Vancouver and Edmonton on Bighorn Highway #40 North, the scenic Alaska route. Old Entrance is a ten minute drive from Hinton's shopping and dining a a 45 minute drive from Jasper townsite. Please check our MAPS webpage for detailed driving instructions and a map. Our
main house is the recently restored historic 1914 "Entrance"
railway
station, the original "Gateway to the Rockies", located on the
long
abandoned Canadian Northern Railway grade. The Guest Suite is
located
on the lower floor level. The CNR trans-continental rail line is
operational on the original GTPR line on the opposite side of
the
river from Old Entrance. Guests' pets are welcome but must be
kept
under strict control at all times. A per night or per week fee
is
charged for all pets staying with guests on-site. Pets must not
be
left unattended at any time. For
those traveling with their own horses we offer overnight holding
corrals or stable. We advise bringing your horse feed and own
watering bucket or tub. Water is available at the corrals.
