This cache replaces the long missing cache "GCQ8MZ - Mountain
View - Cascade Lookout". You can view the old cache page
here. I have placed this cache at this
location with the previous cache owner's permission as he wasn't
able to return to perform maintenance on it.
Modified text from the original cache (used with
permission):
This cache is located at an altitude of approximately 1,600
meters. I have rated the cache as terrain 1.5 as the location is
easily reached by vehicle on a paved and well maintained road,
however caution must be exercised due to the many switch-backs
along the 7.5 kilometer drive to the lookout. For those courageous
enough to try on bicycle, we applaud you!
This cache should be available until the winter snows close the
road.
This cache is located in spectacular Manning Park located
half way between Hope and Princeton, BC. From the lookout you will
see many mountains within Canada and the US including Red Mtn,
Skyline Ridge, Mox Peaks (US), Mt. Hozomeen (US), Mt. Frosty, Mt.
Winthrop (US), The Parks (US), Windy Joe and Sheep Mtn. You can
also look down upon Lightning Lake, where you can camp, canoe,
kayak and fish. At the lookout you are more than likely to be
greated by Cascade Golden-Mantled Ground Squirrels, Yellow Pine
Chipmunks, Gray Jays and Clark's Nutcrackers. Although quite
friendly, please DO NOT feed the animals. After taking in the
amazing views, you can also continue on up the well maintained
gravel road another 6.5 kilometers to the Sub-Alpine Meadows where
you can enjoy a fabulous array of flora.
Due to the high muggle traffic in the area, please use your best
'stealth mode'.
Enjoy the views and happy cachin'!
