Geocache Description:

This cache was placed for the 2010 BCGA Blitz

Fry Creek is one of the fantastic easy hikes the West Kootenays has to offer. It's an excellent shoulder season hike, snow-free before the higher elevation areas.

The hike to this cache is about 2.5 km one-way and takes you to the mouth of Fry Creek. When you get to the junction to go up the canyon trail or to the bridge, go to the bridge to look at the view and then continue up the canyon. The canyon trail will shortly take you past this cache, and continues to the Fry Creek Canyon cache.



Driving Directions to the Trailhead:
Drive north from Kaslo past Lardeau. At 34.5 km, turn right onto Argenta Road (reset odometer to zero). 500 m later, after crossing the Lardeau River, the pavement ends. Not quite a kilometer further, at a 3-way junction, turn right. At 6.5 km, at a signed junction, go right (left leads to Earl Grey Pass). At 10.6 km, stay right where Salisbury Creek FS Road ascends left. The Fry Creek Canyon trailhead is at 17.9 km.

Driving directions pilfered from "Where Locals Hike in the West Kootenay". Thanks...

The trail starts to the right of the trailhead sign and descends south.
