Geocache Description:

CACHE IS AT THE POSTED COORDINATES. However, once you spot this “in plain sight” cache, you will have to locate the little purple bird that can help you get past the security system so that you can retrieve the container and sign the log.

Looking west along the Bow Valley, just meters from the cache hiding spot

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:
GC4KAQ4 – Welcome to Three Sisters
GC4M9H3 – A Bird’s Eye View (Reprise)
GC755H7 - Birdhouse MAZE
GC4M9H7 – Avis Domus
GC4M9HJ – Alexander Graham Bell
GC5XYK2 – Pipe Dreams II
GC4M9HT – Ironhide
GC4M9HE – Riverside Trail
GC4NCWX – The Legend of Sleepy Hollow

Angry birds have implemented a sophisticated security system to keep unwanted intruders from their home. One little purple bird is hiding nearby; it wants back into the house and will help you gain access, too.

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).

There's lots of parking available on nearby Dyrgas Gate.
