This cache will take you across the street from the site of the first Youth Hostel in North America.
It opened on July 1st, 1933 as the Canadian Youth hostel at Bragg Creek, Alberta. It was a tent rented from Calgary Tent & Awning and was erected by the Barclay sisters.

It was the first of eventually three locations for the hostel in the Bragg Creek area.
More information on the hostel and the plaque is available at Bragg Creek.ca.
