For newbies, there will be a hands on intro to geocaching (based
on demand) with an excursion to a nearby demo geocache.
The 2011 Geocaches are:
- Logging Legacy -
(History of logging in Fundy). This is a 2km round trip hike
over easy terrain where boardwalk is the majority of the trail. Oh,
did I mention the steps? Yes, easy on the way down, but might be a
tad harder on the return trip. Lots of scenic views on this
one.
- The Fog Forest -
(Acadian Forest General Information). This should be a 3km
round trip hike over good trails with some incline & stairs to
traverse.
- Caught on Camera -
(Pine Marten Research and the Pine Marten as a biological indicator
for mature forest health). This is another easy hike. Close to
Headquarters, you will have to walk around a less used area of the
park. You will see a number of infrastructure items that used to be
part of the park history along with a nice view. Depending on the
parking location you will choose you are looking at 1km round
trip.
- Hug a Tree - (Trees and
all the do for us). This is an easy one, we recommend parking
at Tippenlot for this one. The point of this cache is for you see
the project once you get close to the cache. Length of the
hike will be around 1km round trip
- Wings over Fundy -
(Birds of Fundy and their relationship with the trees). This
is moderate to hard trail over large rocks. Wear hiking boots.
There are two trailheads to access this cache. Hiking distance will
vary from 4.6 - 7 kms round trip. Rock hoping will be required to
get to the final location. Take your time as you are looking at 2-3
hours.
