Geocache Description:

Rickert's Pass Cache is located a significant distance from the trailhead at the far northern edge of the Mist Ridge Trail. Caution should be considered following any amount of precipitation.




Rickert's Pass Cache is a regular sized square LnL type container with the usual log book, pencils and small number of trading items.

Trailhead parking is available at the Mist Creek day-use area off Highway 40, 20.6 kilometres west of the Highwood Junction and 17.8 kilometres south of the Highwood Pass.

The ridgewalk along Mist Ridge is one of the most scenic in the Canadian Rockies. Mist and Storm Mountains dominate the views to the west and Gibralter Mountain and others to the east. I would recommend taking the junction to the right approximately 2 kilometres from the trailhead as it leads directly to the ridge.

The round trip distance we captured in our track log was 24.7 kilometres for the hike.

Come on out and enjoy Mist Ridge one of the most scenic ridgewalks in the Canadian Rockies.
