Geocache Description:

This Nose Hill Glacial Erratic is located a short distance off a secondary trail in Nose Hill Park. Please review the trail maps and online mapping before you set out to ensure you use existing pathways.




Geologists identify erratics by studying the rocks surrounding the position of the erratic and the composition of the erratic itself. The Foothills erratics are hard and resistant grey to pink pebbly quartzite. Their source is half a billion year old rocks in the Main Ranges of the Rocky Mountains in Jasper National Park. The Foothills erratics train of Alberta can be traced more than 580 km along the eastern edge of the Rocky Mountain Foothills from McLeod River in the north to the international border in the south.

This erratic is similar to the other Nose Hill Erratic (GC119A4). There is a lot of distance between the two erratics!

1. E-mail (do not post) the cache owner the approximate dimensions of this Nose Hill glacial erratic - height, length and width.

2. Post a photo of yourself with GPS in hand or if you are alone, a photo of your GPS at the earthcache site.
