Geocache Description:


The Cowichan Valley Trail will take you from Duncan through Lake Cowichan and down past the Kinsol Trestle following former CN and E&N railway lines. With many access points and 8 trestles, it's a beautiful trail to walk, jog or bike. From the Island Spirit Team, we hope you enjoy your time in the Cowichan Valley.

All the Island Spirit Legacy Caches are within a 2 steps of the trail, unless otherwise noted. There is no need to bushwack or trample the vegetation.





Black-tailed Deer


Of the three species of Black-tailed Deer found in British Columbia, only the Columbian Black-tailed Deer is found on Vancouver Island. These are quite a small species of deer and on some of the smaller islands in the vicinity they can be even smaller still. Out in the wilds, winter food shortages and cougars help to keep the population in check but here on the South Island they are very common. These ‘urban’ Deer have become very accustomed to people and are frequent visitors to backyard gardens. Mating usually occurs in mid November with 1 to 3 spotted little fawns arriving in May or June.
