In West Kelowna, turn west onto Westside Road from Highway 97.  Drive 8.4 kilometres and turn left onto Bear Lake Forest Service Road (FSR; 2WD gravel).  Drive 11.9 kilometres and turn right onto Esperon FSR.  Drive 9.9 kilometres and turn right onto Terrace Lookout FSR.  Drive 1.7 kilometres and park to the side before a narrowing where the road is partially deactivated.

Zosia and I actually drove to nearby "Big Horn Lake" (200 metres past the turnoff to Terrace Lookout FSR) the previous evening and camped there before driving the remaining distance to the starting point in the morning.  From where we parked, we followed the continuation of the road through a section that has been partially deactivated by the addition of berms.  We stayed left at a split about 700 metres from the starting point and then left again at a second split 950 metres further.  After climbing over a hill, the road drops into a dip where another road joins in from the right.  Ignoring this side road, we continued straight and began climbing a series of switchbacks of varying lengths for the remaining two kilometres and change to the summit.  A chilly wind made it too uncomfortable to linger at the top, and after taking our requisite photographs, we retreated down the road to a more sheltered location before taking a break.

For our descent, Zosia and I backtracked along the same road and had no issues with either the walk or the drive out.
