On the road to 'Cypress Mountain' (although Cypress Mountain
isn't in this park) the cache is at a look off that has an amazing
view of Greater Vancouver and up the Fraser Valley in one
direction, and Vancouver Island in the other.
Cypress Mountain is home to the 2010 Olympics Freestyle Skiing
and Snowboard venues. During the winter, Cypress Mountain is
available for all sorts of winter activities ... skiing (alpine and
nordic), snowboarding, snowshoeing, tubing, and so on. In the
summer, there are tonnes of trails for hiking, the mountains are
there for the climbing, and there is plenty of cycling: both hill
training and mountain biking.
Cypress Bowl is the harder trailhead for the long hike to
The
Lions as well as a number of shorter, easier hikes. Check out
nearby caches in the park:
Original cache contents include a number of Podcacher.com audio
CDs, some 'City of Vancouver' reflective pant straps, a Canadian
Forces Navy sticker, and some Team LCF pins. FTF prize is a $20
Starbucks Gift Card (unregistered)
