We were hoping to place this cache at Swan Falls, but the snow was
too deep and we couldn't find the trail markers, so it will have to
wait for another day. There was still snow at the cache location
when we placed it in the middle of May.
Halvor
Lunden
There's one man in British Columbia who knows the wilderness like
the back of his hand. Halvor Lunden has spent 51 years blazing
trails among the spectacular pines. He's over 80 years old now and
still hikes, ax in hand, ensuring that those who follow in his
footsteps have a clear path and perfect view of the country's most
majestic landscape.

This route is recommended for experienced and fit hikers only. The

this trail. Climb to El Paso Junction, then turn left and cross
Buntzen Creek. Passing through the ancient mountain forest you will

Junction. Return to the main parking area along the same trail you
started on.

You will find the ammo can in a clump of trees, approximately 20 m
south of the Nancy Catch Basin sign. It is inside the east rotten
tree. See spoiler pictures below.
