Geocache Description:

Also affectionately known as 'Stairway to Heaven'

You'll find this one creatively stashed just off Bruce Trail. It's a nice diversion along your hike on this amazing trail system or simply park nearby for the quick snag. Either way, the scenic vista overlooking Dundurn St. and Hamilton from GZ is pretty darned cool. If Brucing it, the 'trail' to the cache will become apparent soon enough. If you must drive to the cache, there are two possible approaches here, one seemingly easier than the other.

 Don't be so quick to take the path of least resistance. We recommend leaving your geomobile at the preferred parking coords. Although we didn't see any No Parking signs closer to GZ, it may not be too appropriate and might bring too much unwanted attention to the cache (unless you attempt the old 'flat tire' routine). That approach is more easily accessible by foot or bike, but you probably won't get the same appreciation for the 'trail' unless you start from the parking trail head. And you wouldn't get to play 'King of the Mountain!'. You could even start your search at the Highland Gardens cache, then continue on along the bruce and consider ours the bonus cache.


Well, either way, each has it's own unique set of constraints. So we'll leave that for you to choose, but ultimately you still have the challenge of finding it once you get there. And watch out for muggles! Just let us know which route you took and how you made out, find or not. I have the help of a brand new cacher here (we've dubbed Pianomann), who lives very close by and hikes the trail all the time. He was in on setting this one up just after his very first find nearby and will help us keep an eye on it. So, make sure to write some descriptive logs about your adventure to encourage him to find and place some more.

Thanks for the help Pianomann, you're the king!

BTW - there's a steamy hot timmy inside for FTF!
