Geocache Description:

Coordinates for this cache can be found by completing the series “Around Toronto”. The series involves finding four traditional caches that have been placed in the city of Toronto. Each cache holds a piece of the final coordinates. Only through combining all four will you find the location of the cache.

The waypoints are separate caches which can be logged individually so be sure to log your visit to each. The location to each cache can be found in the waypoints and the link to each is below.

Toronto is an amazing city full of many hidden places and treasures to explore. The location of the caches will take you all over the city. You will be able to explore some of the lesser known Toronto attractions, beautiful parks, as well as explore some famous sites Toronto has to offer and hopefully find others along the way. All of these places have been a part of my own journey of exploring Toronto and are meaningful to me in some way. I hope you have a great time exploring Toronto and some of my favorite sites.

If you plan to make a day or two of finding these caches and exploring the sites they are hidden close to be sure to check the times of their operation. Most of the caches are all accessible 24 hours a day and all are available to be found in every season, although some of the attractions have hours of operation and access may be limited to the cache on special occasions.

Difficulty of this cache is due to the time and effort needed to find the 4 traditional caches.

Final - Be sure to follow the gravel path to the cache and respect the natural landscape. Please replace exactly as found and be sure to enjoy the sights by continuing up the path to the top. Difficulty to find the final will increase in the winter months. I also recommend coming here on the weekend to benefit from all the area has to offer during those times.

There are many other amazing attractions to see around Toronto, so be sure to see all the city has to offer. If this series proves to be successful I will continue to create more themed multi/mystery caches of “Around Toronto” attractions like these of more specific themes.

FTF – Congrats to emzernask, Team Goju and Barnie's Band of Gold on the FTF, very impressive find with the weather conditions and time frame, well done!! As this mystery takes time and effort to finish I will randomly place a new reward in this cache to give new finders a reward for finding the cache as time goes by.
