** Go west for 3.3 kms on Bearspaw Dam Road (along the way... Stoney Trail passes overhead and you'll drive past the Calgary West Soccer Centre's large white bubble on your right side) to the end of the road.
** The road ends at the "Inland" quarry entrance gate and parking is off on the south side.
** Note: QUARRY GATE IS SIGNED AND GATE TO QUARRY IS USUALLY CLOSED BUT MAY BE OPEN - DO NOT PROCEED INTO QUARRY.
