Geocache Description:

This series challenges you with 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.

You will probably have noticed the slope of Skyine Trail has become a little more gentle, and you have broken into an area where the growth beside the trail is more plants & shrubs instead of trees. You might even catch some sun near here! This is a good spot to pause for a look to the south to catch a glimpse of the city.

For your X-ray you will have to leave Skyline and take the side trail a short distance west into the forest. Use the hint if necessary. Once you have logged your find here, you are invited to take the trail heading straight uphill from GZ. This is known as Simic's Trail, and beside it you will find the remaining caches in this series.

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.
