Geocache Description:

An steep off-trail hike of about 2km with 400m of elevation gain that accesses the Lusk Creek Ridge and its panoramic views.

View from the cache




This cache was placed while on a hike with BVPete and Brutus generally following the CBMocha route from Hwy 68 up to the Lusk Creek Ridge. The cache location is in the vicinity of the rock band where the route reaches the ridge. From there you can explore the up and down ridge walk to reach the South Summit where I ventured to and/or the North Summit where BVPete placed a new cache, Lusk Creek Ridge - North Summit - GC23M9D. At time of publication there were a total of 6 caches along this wonderful ridge at various viewpoints. The parking we used is provided as well as the route taken to the cache and on to the South Summit. The return hike from this cache is about 4km with a 400m elevation gain. The return hike if you access the South Summit is about 10.7km with 600m elevation gain from parking, but a cumulative gain of about 800m from up and down hiking if you visit the Central Summit on your route. Enjoy your hike and as always exercise caution.

The cache is a .30 cal ammo can with a ten spot and a finder's card for the FTF, finder's cards for the next 9 finders, a log, pencils and the usual swag. The cache should be winter friendly. Please rehide it as found. Good luck!

Congratulations to Sleepy_hollow on being FTF
