Geocache Description:

A great way to get your "art fix" in a pristine outdoor setting.

This multi takes you through a lakeside art exhibit, featuring works of poetry and visual art. The building near the first waypoint is the Alta Lake Station House, a rustic heritage home that hosts Whistler Art Workshops on the Lake, featuring instruction in painting, sketching and life drawing.

The cabin you'll pass after finishing the cache is the clubhouse for the local kayaking club for kids.

The coordinates for parking I've included take you to a pullout on Alta Lake (or Westside) Road. Cross the road and head south on the Valley Trail. You'll cross the railroad tracks at the public crossing. After this, at no point in this multi do you need to go near the tracks. All hides are on the lake side of the Valley Trail.

Another option is to park at Wayside Park (N50 06.238 W122 59.220). Get on the Valley Trail and head south (go left). When you get to the "Y", turn right and head north.

All hides are micro size. Final contains a log only, bring your own pen.
