Geocache Description:

This series challenges you to fulfill a number of tasks, not the least of which is to hike all the way from the Shoreline – aka Burrard Inlet – to the Skyline, which in this case is the top of Skyline Trail in North Vancouver. Traversing a total distance of 8 kilometres, you will face an elevation gain of about 880 metres. The wise cacher will split this adventure into manageable sections. The rest of you should carry plenty of food and water.

Along the way, you will discover a few caches that contain clues you need to collect, others that are not what they seem to be, and a couple that we hope will make you smile.

The portion of Mosquito Creek Trail above Montroyal Blvd is not maintained by the either the City or District of North Vancouver and, as such, it is unsuitable for cycling. The trail is covered in loose gravel and is far too narrow and steep for safe riding.

Along this stretch, you are closer to the creek and you might notice there are several spots where concrete "steps" have been created in the creekbed. These were installed decades ago in an effort to reduce erosion and minimize potential flood damage.

We hope you enjoy this series. Remember to cache safely by always being aware of your surroundings, and please put the cache back as you found it.
