Geocache Description:

YRGC Geofest and Geofest Express Power Trail


You are looking for a micro-sized container attached via a magnet.

Regardless if you are walking, riding, or driving to get these caches, please pay attention to the (sometimes heavy) traffice on Kirby Road. Be careful when pulling off the road and exiting your vehicle.

 The 6060 and her sisters are the largest steam locomotives ever to grace Canada's rails. These beauties could reach speeds of 75MPH. The U-1-f class of Mountain-type locomotives were called "Bullet-nosed Betties" due to their cone-shaped smokebox covers. For more information please click on the "Related Web Page" link near the top of this listing.

York Region Geocachers Club, in association with Kortright Centre for Conservation, hosts the annual YRGC Weekend Geofest each Spring to introduce the general public to our game along with social and interactive opportunities for veteran geocachers.  Included in those opportunities we teamed up to present the Geofest Express where all geocache varieties are available for the finding.

We have expanded out of the park to bring you a series of caches from Bolton to the northern edge of Kortright and on surrounding trails.   Based on Canadian railways and passenger trains, the Geofest Express geocaches are made up of both `Park and Grabs` and an additional hiking section. No tickets are required on this historic journey. Get on the track to Geofest! ALL ABOARD!
