Because the train wreck itself has become popular with sightseers in the last few years the area around the wreck has become a mess of braids and trampled sections of trail. You can access the Trainwreck trail from the new bridge that was installed recently but it will be a challenge finding the proper trail.
The best way to ride Trainwreck is to start on Lower Yer Seat and go South on Trainwreck from the LYS intersection. Then connect to Runaway Train and End Of The Line. Then loop back on the Sea To Sky Trail.
The section of Trainwreck going South from LYS is a newer section built a few years ago so it isn't old school technical like the original Trainwreck. There's still a few elevated bridges and skinny features on the newer section.

This is fun intermediate trail that starts west of the southern most rail car and winds up to the rail tracks. You’ll know you are on the right track when you ride down a small rock roll and see bridgework and a signpost indicating an intermediate ride around. Trail on the other side of the tracks is old gravel goes up from narrow entrance you will see to the right when you hit the tracks.

What happens when you stop dreaming about the life you could be living and actually go for it? I am Daryl, a travel & adventure filmmaker. I’m one-third of the Treo behind vancity adventure, a youtube channel, exploring the world with my son Cayden and Tosha the Pug (sometimes my wife). We are from Vancouver Canada and we started this adventure to clear our minds and find our souls.
We have done this hike twice, Once from the road and this way can be a little confussing. The last trip was from the parking lot and was a easy hike and easy to find. https://youtu.be/U8Pw_gvgHz0
Adventure is right around the corner! Let’s get outside, explore and make new friends. We cannot wait to go on this #vancityadventure with you!
