From the top of Mt. Prevost you can really see the lay of the land from either peak. One peak has a cairn for those who have fallen in WWI and WWII, the other peak is popular with hang gliders. The road to Mt. Prevost is open to the public every day, but it is a backroad that sees a lot of atv and motorbike use and mountain bikers. This is a seasonal road and so during the dry summer it is often closed, but access is still open on foot or pedal bike. Drive slow, keep your headlights on and only your navigator's eyes on the gps.
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.
King Solomon Mines
King Solomon Mines was a rather insignificant mine located near Shawnigan Lake that left a rather large name-sake legacy. From 1904 to 1907, this tiny mine near the Koksilah River produced enough copper ore to barely fill three rail cars - resulting in a total of 18,000kg of copper. Although pretty well insignificant in the region's mining history, it was around long enough to have a local rail stop named after it - the Kinsol Station. When the Canadian Northern Pacific Railway undertook a massive project to provide a rail-route to bring timber from the west coast to markets in Victoria, they built the largest wooden trestle in the commonwealth and named it after the station - the Kinsol Trestle.
