Moose Mountain Ice Cave Traditional Cache

This small L & L geocache is located near the Moose Mountain Ice Cave (also called the Canyon Creek Ice Cave). The trailhead to the ice cave is approximately 6 kilometers from the Ing's Mine parking lot on an old access road. Although you can walk this distance in about an hour, I highly recommend you take your bike! Once at the trailhead, you have a 1 kilometer hike with an elevation gain of about 200 meters to reach the cave.

*** Note: GPSr reception is very poor around here because of the cliffs. As such, I've rated it a 4* difficulty. I recommend that you bring both spoiler pictures along with you as this will make your search much easier!***

If you plan to take some time to explore the ice cave, bring a helmet and a light with extra batteries along with you and don't go alone! If you come in the right season you will see magnificent stalactites (from the ceiling) and stalagmites (from the ground) made of ice!

Since its discovery in 1905 by Stan Fullerton, this cave has drawn spelunkers of all ages and experience to explore its magnificent ice formations! To help preserve this awesome location for future generations, please clean up after your visit.
