This is a great place to explore and hike around. There are many creatures that inhabit these woods. Deer are plentiful and bears enjoy feasting on all of the wild strawberries, goose berries and rosehips. The Highland Valley wild horses roam freely around here as well. In the summer you can see cattle grazing in the grassy areas. Frogs hop around the edge of Dry Lake and in the late summer to early autumn the water is much lower leaving dried mud that cracks and bakes in the sun looking like a large puzzle. Dry Lake is the name given to this serene area by the local residents. I have many memories of catching frogs here with my brother, James this one is for you!
Follow Hwy 97C from Ashcroft approx. 16kms to the Highland Valley trailer park. Past the park you will see a swamp on the left hand side. Turn left on Coldstream Forest Service Road. There is a pullout on the left side, park here and walk to cache location.
