Making Travel Arrangements
If you are flying into Calgary or Edmonton International Airports, you should plan your trip so that you arrive a day before you are scheduled to be picked up by our stagecoach at the Big Horn Campground. Most guests rent or drive their own cars, vans, or motorhomes to our staging site. If you need to rent , most car rental agencies have offices and vehicles at both airports. Van transfers from our staging site to and from Calgary International Airport , can be arranged through us. Please note however, that due to our remote location, van transfers are generally more expensive than car rental as they operate from Banff, Canmore or Calgary, Information on helicopter transfer is also available. Please let us know if we can help with these arrangements.
Shuttle service is available from Calgary International Airport to Banff. Please visit www.brewster.ca , www.banffairporter.com or www.rockymountainskyshuttle.com .

The times above may vary due to weather, road and traffic conditions. The Coal Camp Road to the Mountain Aire Lodge, and the Forestry Trunk Road to the Mountain Aire Lodge and the Big Horn Campground are gravel roads for most of the way. Please arrive at the Big Horn Campground ON TIME. Due to our remote backcountry location, we allow for only one stagecoach departure from the Big Horn to The Outpost daily. We are not responsible for missed connections at the Big Horn, and we will charge a transport fee if additional pick up arrangements need to be arranged. There is no phone coverage in the Big Horn or any of the gravel roads in. The last fuel stops are in Sundre and Canmore (15 miles east of Banff).
If you are travelling by car or van, free parking is available at our staging site at the Big Horn Campground for the duration of your stay. We are tucked in behind the washrooms just past the one way road sign as you drive into the campground. Look for the wagons and stagecoach! We haven’t lost anyone yet!
