Hello,


I'd like to ask you what is the best way to visit Creston (BC) in
Canada? As I know, I should fly from Toronto to Calgary and then - by
bus to Creston. But in Creston is a small airport, so maybe is there a
possibility to fly directly.

The airport is CAJ3, Creston (Art Sutcliffe Field). Info atwww.copanational.org, go to Places to Fly and British Columbia.

Creston is a small airport without, as far as I know, any
scheduled air service. The only option for flying into it would be to
rent an airplane in Calgary and do it yourself. However, I know of no
outfit that will rent an airplane for a solo flight through the
mountains to someone without that training and/or experience. The
risks are high due to the capricious weather in the Rocks and the ease
with which a flatlander can get lost. Every year the uninitiated get
into trouble there and some of them crash. Others get through but are
much wiser and more cautious afterward. And there are plenty of
airplanes in there that have never been found.
