From the east, same way but turn right at the end of the ramp (I think...never been on that particular ramp). Or contact a local team for directions.

Better yet, read the Visitor Guide, which will tell you that the Prairie ramps from the eastbound 105 and the westbound 105 merge. The result is you need to make a left turn at the end of the ramp no matter which way you were headed on the freeway.

But you really do want to avoid the 405 to Manchester route in the FIRST directions. Why turn a 10-15 minute trip into a 20-30 minute trip if you don't have to? I think they picked that route because they like the street name
