Geocache Description:

Atop TUNNEL MOUNTAIN in Banff. It's about a 1 hour hike along a clear path (about .87 miles from the road). I gave it a 2.5 terrain only because some parts of the hike are steep. It's in a National Park, so there is a fee to get in the park.

********************************************************************************************************************** UPDATE: 4/17/06 If you plan on finding this one, could you please bring a new container and possibly swap out. Just make sure it's sturdy. In addtion, you have my permission to clean out the cache a bit as I read it's getting full. Thanks! ********************************************************************************************************************** There are 2 important things to note about this cache: 1. I will NOT be able to maintain it. I live hundreds of miles away from it. If you can not find it, please email me so I can remove the cache entry. Belive me, I wish this place was closer!

2. I did not find a ranger to ask permission to leave it. This cache is in a highly visible spot. Please be aware that there could many people around. Let's keep it our secret! Wait for an all CLEAR!

The cache is a plastic rectangular container with a green lid. It contians:

  • Log book and pen - please don't remove, but please log your trip.
  • DON'T MESS WITH TEXAS postcard
  • DALLAS TEXAS playing cards
  • TEXAS Rangers pencil
  • US Quarter. One of the new state specific coins.

    I have a picture to add to this page.

    Here's a little hint: Look carefully before grabbing the cache.

    I think this is a good hiding place, just remember, don't let anyone see!
