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.
The Salish Sea
The term Salish Sea was first used in 1988, but not officially recognized until early 2010. The Salish Sea encompasses the combined waters of Georgia Strait, Puget Sound and Strait of Juan de Fuca covering about 18,000 square kilometres of water. The name refers to the language of the First Nations groups that originally occupied the area. The Coast Salish peoples have traversed these waters for thousands of years as important trade routes, a source of food and other resources. Currently most people cross the Salish Sea by ferry, although over the past 20 years there has been a near constant debate about building a floating bridge that would be roughly 26kms long. Although many challenges such as water depths of 365 metres, wind speeds of 115 km/h, passage of major ships both cruise and container ships, and seismic activity have kept the builders at bay.
