Geocache Description:

A series of 6 Caches for Families along the Historic Brigade Trail. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2Ppzajk0D0 The road in, is a mix of rough paved and rough gravel, cattle guards, bumps, dirt, dust, and/or puddles. Watch for cattle, motor bikes, quads and bicycles and of course - horses. Enjoy the view of Rattlesnake Mountain. Often you can watch the Mountain Goats who make their home here. Congratulations to Kerry & Shannon for FTF!

The Brigade Trail Follow the path of Hudson's Bay Company fur traders who trekked through the Okanagan Valley from 1812 to 1846 with pack trains of up to 300 horses. The same trail was later used during the Cariboo Gold Rush and was the first automobile route to Summerland. Drive from downtown through the Garnet Valley (actually following the original route) to the trailhead at Priest Camp Historic Park. The 4.1km/2.5mi trail (rated easy) leads to a lookout with terrific views of Okanagan Lake. When hiking in the dry grasslands, be aware that this is habitat for the Western Rattlesnake. Black Bears are not uncommon, Cougars occasionally: hikers should carry bear spray and make enough noise to have their presence known. Ticks are present here, check yourself and your dog.
