Welcome to Three Sisters Traditional Cache

This cache is located just off Fitzgerald Rise, one of three access roads into Three Sisters Mountain Village, the easternmost subdivision of Canmore. The cache is 20 to 30 meters from on street parking, so in that sense it's a park 'n' grab. But it's well-camouflaged and there are many possible hiding spots at the posted coordinates, so in that sense it may not be a park 'n' grab.

First to Find Competition

This is one of ten geocaches in our Parkway Challenge Series. All caches in the series are placed in close proximity to the network of pathways along either side of the Three Sisters Parkway. The challenge is to find and sign the official log for all ten geocaches. There’s no set order for finding the caches and no information to collect. We’ll reward the first five geocaching accounts to complete the challenge with an unactivated GeoKs’ geocoin, delivered via snail mail unless alternate arrangements are made.

The terrain rating for all caches in the series is two or lower. We rode bikes or walked to place all the caches in their hiding spots. The difficulty ratings range from 1.5 to 5. Several caches in the series are highly engineered. Brute force is NOT required. Brain power IS required. If you can't open a cache in this series, there's probably something about the cache container that you haven't yet figured out. Please re-read the cache title, description and hint (if any) for any information you may have overlooked and then try again.

The other geocaches in the series are:
GC4M9H3 – A Bird’s Eye View (Reimagined)
GC755H7 - Birdhouse MAZE
GC4M9H7 – Avis Domus
GC4NCWC – Angry Birds?
GC4M9HJ – Alexander Graham Bell
GC5XYK2 – Pipe Dreams II
GC4M9HT – Ironhide
GC4M9HE – Riverside Trail
GC4NCWX – The Legend of Sleepy Hollow

NOTE: We spotted several sprinkler heads in the area. The geocache is NOT hidden in one of the sprinkler heads nor is it a fake sprinkler head, so please do NOT disturb the sprinkler heads!

NOTE: This area is frequented by wildlife, including elk, deer and occasionally coyotes, bears and/or cougars. Please be WILDSMART - make lots of noise and carry bear spray (and know how to use it).

This is a good spot to park your vehicle and walk/bike to several other caches in the series. Use the cross walk at the bottom of the hill to cross the Three Sisters Parkway. From there, you'll be less than two hundred meters from "A Bird's Eye View" to the northwest and about a kilometre from "Alexander Graham Bell" to the southeast, with another three in the series in between.

View as you walk down the hill to the crosswalk

CO Note: We agonized over the difficulty rating of this cache and based on cacher comments we have bumped it up to a 5.
