Geocache Description:

Time to rest the horses. Bears and Cougars have been seen in this area, Stay alert! The cache site has been updated to make it easier, and more findable. Congratulations Avaloninn on the 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 also present, be sure to check yourself and your pets.
