This You Are Here map is part of the trailhead signage at the Santa Rosa Road access point to the Columbia & Western Rail Trail/Trans Canada Trail. Access to this trailhead is via Santa Rosa Road, which leads east and south from Highway 3 about 250 metres north of the Christina Creek Bridge in the town of Christina Lake.
At one time one could head either east or west on the trail from this point. That's no longer the case, as the road bridge over the rail bed has been removed and filled in, blocking the way south (which leads west to the Kettle Valley). The only option from this point is north and east, ultimately to Castlegar.
At this trailhead is a large parking area, an outhouse, a picnic table and an informational sign, telling the hiker/biker of the local edible berries to be found along the way.
