any information on how to get to west gate of jinshanling great wall?

Question

I've been there before,  hiked the middle gate to the east one, and caught the bus back to Beijing. Now my parents are coming and we are up for a longer hike, but I can't seem to find any information about making it to the west gate to start the hike. To be clear, we want to hike all the way starting from the West Gate to the East.Thanks

I heard that you can take a coach near the Exit C of Wangjing West Subway Station and get off at Jinshanling Service Area. There you can take a free shuttle bus to the Wall and the final station is the West Gate.
