Geocache Description:

This cache should be accessible all year round. This cache is located not far off Kovach Trail. Round trip will be somewhere around 7 to 8 km, depending on whether you park at Kananaskis Village or Ribbon Creek as well as which of several possible routes you take. Follow the trails!!! They will take you within 30 m of the cache. There is a picnic table near the cache location; plan to bring a snack or bagged lunch and you can enjoy a terrific view down the valley while you eat.

This is the second in our small series of snowshoe accessible caches. If you choose to snowshoe, please note that for much of the way you will be on trails set for x-country skiing, so appropriate trail etiquette is to stay to the side of the trail to avoid destroying the track sets. Depending on the season, you can hike, bike, snowshoe or x-country ski via the multi-use trails northwest of Kananaskis Village.

There are quite a few intersecting trails in this area. There is good signage, including a map with a “you are here” marker at most trail intersections. If you don’t have a trail map of the area, consult the signage at the Ribbon Creek parking lot or at the trailhead near Woody’s Pub at Kananaskis Village. Plan a route which will take you to the viewpoint on Kovach trail. On our return trip to Kananaskis Village we managed to find GCH4CR “Kovach Link” by Cymbc and Judy of star wars fame, so depending on your route, you might try for that one too.

This is a popular destination for guests staying at the Delta Lodge at Kananaskis, so PLEASE REHIDE CAREFULLY to prevent muggles from spotting the geocache from the trail.
