Geocache Description:

Welcome to the ‘Dundas Valley Trails’ Series of geocaches.  I do a lot of running throughout this remarkable trail system and I love every minute of it. I’ve placed these caches in order to give you a reason to come explore them for yourself.


These caches will take you along the Sulphur Creek trail and parts of the Monarch Trail. I recommend parking at the end of Turnbull Rd which is the trailhead for the Sulphur Creek Trail. I have waypointed parking.

Collect the information provided in each cache in order to assemble the coordinates for the final Final name and GC Code will be available soon! These caches will either be regular sized containers with lots of swag inside and lots of room for travel bugs and geocoins, or something creative and a little off the beaten path. I’ve done my best to make them winter friendly since winter exposes a whole different kind of beauty in these trails. They will also be kid friendly, so please bring the family for a great day in a natural setting.

Container is a large lock n’ lock container with a log book and lots of tradeable items. Please remember to trade even or trade up. Cache is accessible with two feet on the ground.

You know that age old question, ‘If a tree falls in a forest, and no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound?’  It is a philosophical thought experiment, that raises questions regarding observation and knowledge of reality. The origins of this phrase are attributed to George Berkley, in 1710. Anyway, I’m no philosopher, but I’m pretty sure a tree of this size would have been LOUD when it fell…right across the trail! Even if no people were here when it fell, there are certainly enough deer around that they would have heard something! There you go, 300 year old dilemma solved!! Now go find the cache. It’s very winter friendly. That should help narrow down the hiding spots in case your GPS signal is bouncing around. 

Terrain rating is for the trails to get to GZ. The rating at GZ is a 2.
