Geocache Description:

This location is the entrance to the Hope Pass Trail which is called Cayuse Flats. This was an important overnight stop on the historic Hope Pass Trail. The trail was built in 1861 by the Royal Engineeers and served as a crucial link between the interior and the coast for 60 years. This cache is not too difficult to find but you need to be inquisitive.

Travelling East, past Hope, turn right into the rest stop that has a small CANAM sign on the tree. Once in, you will have to venture off the road/path but not too far. Cache is a painted lock and lock about 12" x 6". Originally filled with cool kid stuff like new cars, goo, bouncy balls and whoopie cushion. It's not too difficult to find. No hiking involved, just a tiny bit of bushwacking.
