The Bow Valley Interchange, just a few km west of Highway 40
into Kananaskis, provides access to the Rocky Mountain YMCA
Yamnuska Centre, Camp Chief Hector, the site of the 1981, 1993
Canadian Scout Jamborees and the 1983 World Scout Jamboree, Willow
Rock Campground, Bow Valley Provincial Park and of course to
Highway 1A via Highway 1X (Exshaw, Grotto Canyoun, Yamnuska and
more).
This cache is hidden just off a small parking area southeast of
the TransCanada and can be accessed while traveling eastbound or
westbound on the TransCanada Highway.

This is another drive-up cache that should provide a couple of
minutes of diversion. You are searching for small, round lock 'n'
lock. Please rehide carefully to preserve the challenge of the hunt
for the next cacher.
This cache is one of three caches we’ve hidden along the
TransCanada Highway between Calgary and Canmore. This stretch of
road is well travelled by the GeoKs during the summer and fall as
we hit the hiking trails. The cache containers will be getting
larger as you head west / smaller as you head east. You can decide
what order you would like to find them as they are all accessable
eastbound or westbound.
NOTE: All cache hides were constructed using materials salvaged
elsewhere. There is no need to cross/climb any fencing to retrieve
the caches.
UPDATE (Sep. 22, 2008): Due to consistently positive feedback,
we have added two more caches to the series
Ridge Road GC1GG5D and
Triple S Red Angus GC1GG60.
