Printable pdfs of these images, showing more of the surrounding area, are attached at the bottom of this page.

Different people find different types of maps useful so here are two other maps showing the lodge location:

• Satellite view of the lodge location from Google maps (with a pin marker showing which building the lodge is, and suggested walking route from the car park marked)
• Topo map of the lodge location (with a pin marker showing which building the lodge is)
