There are several ways to the top of Mount Strachan. You can take
the gravel service road (in winter a green ski run) from the
chairlift base out and around the mountain. Or you can walk right
up under the chairlift (a difficult hike to be sure). Or you can
walk for 15 - 20 minutes down the Howe Sound Crest Trail, and then
take the old trail up the far side of Mount Strachan (this trail
isn't listed on the park maps, but is a well-marked trail you can
find in most coast hiking books).

The cache is a large plastic tupperware-type container in a plastic
bag. There are a few goodies for trade. (Eventually, I'll replace
this, as per my other summit caches, with a small lock & lock,
suitable for pin, pendant, and geocoin trades).
This cache will not be accessible in the
winter, very likely buried under many metres of
snow.
Visit the Cypress Provincial Park website for trail maps
and other important hiking information.
When you make it to the top sit back, enjoy the view of Howe Sound,
but beware - the Lions are watching you!
