Geocache Description:

This "cash" is located on the way to the summit of Moose Mountain. You don't actually have to make it to the top to get to the cache. The trail is pretty wide and obvious. Some sections of the trail are a little steep, but nothing serious. Trail is open from May 16th to November 30th.

This cache has a "Cash" theme. It currently contains things related to "cash", either real cash from foreign countries or some joke cash. Please try to respect the theme! The container is a standard size Tupperware type tub.

Moose Mountain is not far from Bragg Creek on route 66 and is about 1 hour from Calgary. The parking lot at the base of the mountain is located at: N 50° 52.398' W 114° 43.415'. From here you can drive to an upper parking lot on a dirt road. The location for the upper lot is: N 50° 54.925' W 114° 46.562'.

So, then just head up the obvious trail and happy hunting! The hike to the cache takes about 1 hour. It's about another hour to the summit but the view is well worth it!
