Geocache Description:

This night cache offers an absolutely beautiful view of Penticton.


Once you reach the coords for this puzzle cache you will have to use your flashlights to locate and follow reflectors in trees/stumps. 12 feet from actual ground zero you will find a large orange reflector just like the first one at the puzzle coords; from there you will have to locate our small lock n' lock container with our custom reflector on the lid!

The trail head starts on the right side right behind the Info sign, don't take the larger main trail due to safety concerns at night with cliff edges. The trail we have marked to follow is narrow with a few forks so use the waypoints. There are many tripping hazards like rocks and roots.

Hint: Hold the flashlight at eye level besides your head when looking for the reflectors - they will reflect much better.

Bring your own pen.

Make sure to bring extra batteries for your flashlights (we recommend headlamps if you have them plus backup flashlight), good shoes, and a camera with tripod :). Be aware of your surroundings, rattle snakes, bears, and cougars may be in the area. Also, if you take any of the other paths, beware of sharp drop offs. The other paths are not recommended at night, but beautiful during the day.
