This is an easy cache, medium screw top container, and at a sight worth seeing
While there please take time to honor the 189 coal miners who died in the Hillcrest Mine Disaster by viewing the monument at the entrance to the cemetery, smaller monuments list all other Canadian coal mining accidents in which 3 or more men died, it is worth your time. The miners were buried in two mass graves located at the western end of the cemetery and are surrounded by metal fencing, plus some individual plots with engraved interpretive panels near the mass graves telling the story of the town of Hillcrest and the disaster of June 19, 1914. Feel free to wander throughout this peaceful cemetery located below the scarred face of Turtle Mountain. Please be respectful of this site.
