Geocache Description:

Welcome to the Pirate's Copper Mountain 4X4 Adventure.

Video of our Adventure


We won't ask you to "walk the plank" but you will be required to drive a ROUGH NARROW forestry road that may add some pin striping to your paint. Do not attempt this road without four wheel drive. There are many narrow places along the road where if you meet a vehicle coming from the other direction, someone is going to have to back up in order to pass - but the good news is that the road is seldom used.

This is a series of 10 caches placed on our way up Copper Mountain. Back in the 80's the road was drivable to the old Lookout Tower at the summit, although there is some question about the sanity of those of us that drove to the top back in those days.

The last part of the road to the summit was closed and the lookout was destroyed after a fatal accident when a truck drove off the top, so unless you have an ATV you will need to hike the last few kms.

Most of the caches are placed close to the road with the exception of three that will require a little bit of hiking.

There are miles of Mountain Bike Trails in the area. This cache is placed near the start of one.
