Geocache Description:


Cape Breton Coal Hetitage Geotrail - Glace Bay Dominion No 4

The Cape Breton Coal Heritage GeoTrail is a geocaching trail consisting of fourteen caches within the Cape Breton Regional Municipality in Nova Scotia. The caches are located at sites of historic, cultural, or natural significance that highlight unique aspects of Cape Breton history. Along the GeoTrail, geocachers will travel two scenic byways: the Colliery Route, and the Marconi Trail. The South End Community Centre has also partnered with the Miner’s Museum to place one cache near the Miner’s Museum. In each cache, geocachers find clues that help them complete a puzzle in the official Cape Breton Coal Heritage GeoTrail brochure. Geocachers who complete the entire GeoTrail and solve the puzzle will receive a commemorative South End Community Centre Heritage GeoTrail Coin!
