Northwest towards Winnipeg

It is an easy hitch from Steinbach to Winnipeg, and there are two popular routes for vehicles to make the 50 minute trip.

Option 1: Start hitching North from the #12 highway and Park Rd.. To get there walk about half an hour North from Main St. & Brandt St. (the name for the #12 highway going through the city). Sign directly for Winnipeg, or ride 20 minutes North to the #1 highway and then get another ride 30 minutes West to Winnipeg. You will enter the city on Fermor Ave.

Option 2: Start hitching on the shoulder which starts at Main St. (#52 highway) & Lund Rd. To get here, walk ~10 minutes West on Main St. from intersection of Main & Brandt. Sign for Winnipeg, or ride 15 minutes West on the #52 highway to the #59 highway, and then get another ride ~40 minutes North on the #59 into Winnipeg. You will enter the city on Lagimodiere Blvd.
