Geocache Description:

EPIC = Exploring Pender Island Caching

The steep, yet amazing Castle Road Trail will take you up, up, up to a fantastic viewpoint where you can gaze east to the San Juan Islands, northeat to Saturna Island, and south down into the picturesque Spalding Valley. 


Park on Spalding Road and walk up Castle Road to the trailhead, following the park signs. The trail begins up a set of stairs and then switchbacks up through a maple forest between giant conglomerate boulders. You are looking for a bench near the very top where you can sit and catch your breath before exploring the many scenic bluffs and viewpoints! 

If you aren't too Grumpy, Dopey, Sleepy, Sneezy, or Bashful, you will likely be very Happy when you find me located inside a tree whose branches almost touch the bench! Don't try to go directly to the tree! There is a safe trail around back.  BYOP!
