Lynden/Aldergrove Border Crossing

[dtoste77]

Anyone have any experience with this crossing? We're going to Vancouver next month and considering it as an alternative to the Pacific Truck Crossing. I hear it's wider and has better wait times. We'd then take it to 1 and head over to Capilano where we're staying.

We're in a 32' Class A with toad. We're coming up from CA on the 5.

Thanks!

YEAH right about 5 minutes.

Can you elaborate as to why? Thanks!

It's about 5 minutes east, and a whole lot easier. I do it to down town about 4 times per month.

Also fill up just befor your cross you won't like the price of gas here $3.51 a gallon (in US$) or $1.27 per litre ($0.92 in US$).

Really? The 539 is right off of 5. I figured I was just heading north earlier before heading west to Capilano. I figured the biggest issue would be that I'll be off the 5 and that 539 is just a little slower with stop lights, etc. I doesn't really seem like back tracking.
