Happy Winter! We'll be placing trackables in the Amazing Places Geotour caches at random throughout the season. If you find one, follow the directions and be sure to tag us at #amazingplacesmabr to let us know so we can follow along!
PLEASE NOTE: Due to an ongoing issue of rubbing coins going missing from the caches, they are no longer required to complete the Geotour. You can redeem your cache code collection page with just the GeoClue answers completed to get the Amazing Places Geocoin.
The Amazing Places GeoTour (GT8F) will send you on an inspiring adventure to the region's most beautiful natural places. Get your Amazing Places GeoTour Field Guide, downloadable for free from the Amazing Places website here or purchase one at the Parksville Chamber of Commerce or Tigh-Nah-Mara Resort Gift Shop during open hours.
Use the guide to complete the Cache Code Collection Page, including a unique coin rubbing at each of the 8 physical geocache sites to prove your find, and answer the geoclue by finding each of the 10 Amazing Places interpretive signs at each site. Redeem your completed Cache Code Collection Page for a customized Amazing Places GeoTour Geocoin (while supplies lasts).
In a cathedral-like grove of old-growth Douglas firs, MacMillan Provincial Park is known for its majestic grandeur. A network of trails guides you through a gathering of ancient trees—some over 800 years old. Less obvious to the eye are the small wonders that live within the overarching canopy: lichens, insects, and birds.
