Geocache Description:


This is a WINTER cache! It is likely accessible in the summer but you will need to bushwhack to get to it. Welcome ot the Cookie Jar!

This funky little cabin was one of the first cross-country skiing cabins in the Rossland Range, and was bult by the Rossland Senior Citizen's Ski Club. As you can see from the decorating, they are an eclectic bunch. This cabin started the cabin-building craze and there are now almost a dozen cabins in this area, all built and maintained by volunteers. There are cabins all over both sides of the highway here... all accessible by various trails and old logging roads.

This cabin is named for Cookie LeCluse, one of the builders and one of the founders of this area.

I would recommend cross-country skis or snowshoes to access this one - though if it hasn't snowed for a week, you could likely hike in fairly easy. From the logical parking area, cross the highway. The trail to the right is the easiest way to access this cache. The cache is obviously winter accessible, so if you see that it's too low (from recent snowfalls) or too high (from snowmelt), please place it at a more reasonable level. Have fun, and please feel free to ask questions or directions!
