Geocache Description:

Congrats to BVPete and van der Decken on a snowy joint FTF !! Placed a few geocaches on a fantastic ridge. We figured if we placed 4 caches out here it might get a bit more traffic than just one.  This hike took us 2  hours and 25 minutes (including 20 minutes of breaks and hiding 4 caches). You are looking for a small tall rectangular LNL.  This cache is accessed on the offshoot trail (return to main trail once cache found and you have admired the view)

Park at the posted coordinates.  Hike away from the road with a barbed wire fence on your right for approximately 600 meters until you come to a T intersection.  Cut hard left (you will do the loop clockwise) and you will go along Leseuer Creek.  Go straight (you will do the loop counter clockwise) and you will go up the ridge first.  I would STRONGLY recommend doing the ridge first.  While hiking the ridge you are facing the mountains and the view is unobstructed and fantastic.  Hike up the steep ridge (no switchbacks just various grunts up) as it goes up and down.  You will notice a trail veering off to the left near the end of the ridge.  This has a gorgeous viewpoint.  Return to the trail and head north through some bush until you hit a cutline at the far end of your return trip.  Go down the cutline for approximately 1.1 km (you can take various parallel trails).  At the bottom (just after a very small creek) you will go up a small hill and hit a 4 way junction.  From here you can take a hard left and go down a faint trail which heads into the main trail (go left here - this is what we did) or you can go down that hill and then take a left.  Either way you end up at the same general spot and you will follow Leseuer Creek which will be on your right.  You will mingle amongst an Aspen Forest for about a third of your way home and about two thirds will be along the base of the ridge in an open grassland (very nice).  Hit the T intersection and turn right and you will follow the fence (to your left) for 600 meters until you return to the car.
