The Montane Trail is an interpretive trail in Bow Valley Provincial Park. The trail is a nice easy walk with only gentle slopes along the way. The cache is a short walk from the trail across a meadow. Its sister cache (Montane Forest - GC1D801) is also along this trail but in the forest.
The Montane Trail is just off the Trans Canada Highway. Take Exit 114 onto Highway 1X north and then turn west to head to the Bow Valley Campground. You can also get to Highway 1X from Highway 1A if you want a more scenic drive from Calgary.
Park at the Bow Valley Visitor Center and Administration Office parking lot and take the trail from there. There is parking available for cars and RV's. The trail starts at the washrooms and you will arrive at a fork about 40 metres along the path. If you've not found Leah's Bench (GC104HV) by BVPete, go left at the fork and do the trail in a clockwise direction (which is backwards from the signs) so you can enjoy that cache at the same time.
If you go right at the fork, continue along the path for about 200 meters until you reach the power lines. If you go left at the fork, follow the trail around past Montane Forest and Leah's Bench caches and continue until you reach the power lines. Once at the power lines, follow your GPSr across the meadow until you reach the cache.
The cache is an ammo box with the usual log book, pencil, sharpener, and trading items.
Before driving out you can check out the Bow Valley Trail Report.
If it's spring time you might want to do a tick check when you're out of the grass.
Happy Hunting!
