The cache is located along the Bighorn Trail south of Hinton. For more information about this trail look here. The north trailhead is located on the Cold Creek Road at N 53º 21.680' W 117º 33.995'.
The trail was built in the early 1900s by the Dominion of Canada Forestry Service as a pack trail to patrol the forested areas along the eastern slopes. It had a telegraph line along it to link the forestry cabins along the route. Old telegraph line insulators can still be seen along the trail.
The trail rises 500 metres over 5 kilometres so come prepared for a bit of a work out and bring water. Proper footwear is a must as portions of the trail are muddy and steeep. The trail is well signed with kilometre markers.
The cache is in a small container and only contains a log book. Please bring your own pencil and TNLNSL.
