Geocache Description:

A cache at a UNESCO world heritage site!

This should be a fairly quick find and there is parking just a few meters away.

Please be careful to replace the cache exactly as found, try to avoid crushing plants, watch out for cars and for your safety do not climb on the sign or rocks (the cache is accessible without any climbing if you are more than 2.5 feet tall, you dont even need to move any rocks or stick your hand down any deep spiderwebby holes), and of course - watch out for muggles! This spot is out in the open and so you will need to use stealth while you search. We suggest you bring a camera and ‘take some photos’ as cover while you search… it is after all a very pretty neat spot and photo taking will not arouse suspicion in the slightest (we would love to see your photos when you log your find!).

For those of you interested, here is a very short introduction to Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump:

Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump was used by First Nations People for nearly 6000 years. The people would gather a heard of bison and trick them into the 'drive-lanes', moving the heard slowly towards the cliff. At the last second the heard would stampede over the edge of the cliff. Meat from the bison would feed the people through the winter!  Archaeological deposits at Head-Smashed-In are over 10 meters deep and it is considered the oldest and best preserved buffalo jump. Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1981. The Interpretive Center opened in 1987. The last archaeological dig on the site took place in 1993.
