Geocache Description:

This Challenge Cache is to motivate you to hike/climb/drive and cache at or near the top of 20 local mountains or hills.


We really enjoy hiking and we used to do it before we discovered that there was organized littering all around us.  Now that we know we can climb our favourite peaks and find treasure while we do that, life is nearly perfect.  We are trying to encourage you to seek out the wonderful views that surround us and gain a new perspective on your abilities to scale a small hill or a moderate mountain.

We don't expect that you will find the highest cache on each and every peak but we also want you to make an effort to get to the highest point and find a close cache.  In the end, you should have twenty caches, one from each hill/mountain, to post on your log entry.  We would like to see you post it as follows:

GCJW9R - Broom Hill

As well, we would enjoy a picture or two of some of the best views if you feel so inclined.  This cache is about the journey to see things from a different perspective and maybe to motivate you to go somewhere you've always wanted to go.  Please bring your own pen/pencil.

The Hills/ Mountains that you must get to are as follows:

Horth Hill

Mount Newton

Partridge Hills

Jocelyn Peak

Mount Work

Bear Hill

Lone Tree Hill

Mount Finlayson

Holmes Peak

Mount Stewart

Mill Hill

Mount Douglas

Mount Tolmie

Mount Wells

Mount McDonald

Metchosin Mountain

Babbington Hill

Mount Maguire

Broom Hill and

Old Baldy Mountain (because we like the name)

Once you've accomplished this Challenge, the Sooke Hills and all those tiny treasures await!  Please enjoy yourselves, take care and happy caching.
