Geocache Description:

Prairie Mountain Viewpoint is located just off the main trail near the top of Prairie Mountain. The terrain from the trailhead is a stiff uphill test. Caution is advised at all times on this hike.


Prairie Mountain Viewpoint is a regular sized rectangular LnL container with a preform container inside holding the log.

Come and check out this early season conditioner, it's simply a blast in all seasons. There's something in the order of four to six caches at or on the way to the top of Prairie Mountain.

Hope you enjoy the challenge!

A Little Information about Prairie Mountain

The Prairie Mountain trailhead is found along highway 66, just past the seasonal closure gate. The trail to the top is approximately 3.8 kilometres one way with a gain in altitude of over 700 metres. Depending on the conditions it takes between 1.5 and 2.5 hours but this can vary greatly depending on whether your are used to steep inclines. For the most part the unmarked path is easy to follow. From the highway the incline is steep before it eases for a short period and finishes with switchbacks to the top of the mountain. The final section leads you to a summit with excellent views of the surrounding mountain region.
