Geocache Description:

BX Falls is a lovely waterfall hidden in a Cedar forest just outside of Vernon, BC.

BX Falls can be found off of Tillicum Road. The easiest route is to follow the signs towards Silver Star Ski Hill, then turn right onto Tillicum Road. The parking area is on the right side, at a sharp right hand corner. Park at

N50 18.716
W119 11.312

and take the path to the falls. It is a very nice, short hike along a well used path, through a Cedar forest. The cache is somewhere between the path that goes down to the falls and the first lookout below the falls.

The falls are quite beautiful (picture to come), so you might want to head down to the bottom after finding the cache. The path is fairly steep, and can be slippery when the ground is damp.

The co-ordinates are for a stump (picture to come) that is 7 paces from the actual cache. The area around the cache is fairly dense, so the accuracy I was able to get was only 8 meters.

The cache is a 1 Gallon rectangular container and original contained:

Panago Pizza Free Small Pizza coupon (Vernon only - no expiry date)
Vernon Souvenir Spoon
Geocaching Compass Keychain
Piglett Soft Rattle Toy
Exfoliating Body Glove
Foam Flyer Set (2 planes)

1 1/2" Quick-Grip Clamp
Bungee Cord
Metallic Pencil Crayons
'Gator Patch
Garden Angel Hangup Cross Stich Kit
Sparkle Foam Stickers
Batteries
Jump Rope
2 Hair Scrunchies
