Geocache Description:


Are you looking for a great hike or just the shortest route to the cache? An impressive trail starts at the Long Point Lighthouse parking lot where you can take in the fabulous view from the elevated lookout platform. From here it winds downhill before heading north which gives good views of cliffs and icebergs, in season. It then winds along the coast to Sleepy Cove which was once home to a large copper mining operation and is particularly scenic as it provides grand views of the Shag Rocks and Sleepy Cove Gull Island which lie just offshore. Hiking boots are the best choice as it is steep and rocky in places. This trail is about 5 km in length and you should allow at least 2 hours to complete it. The Trail head is at 49 41.275 N and 54 48.105 W. A shorter route would be to start in Sleepy Cove and take the trail to Lower Head. Caution is recommended, high cliffs and steep slopes. Cache is a camouflaged pill bottle with log only so BYOP. You should be able to retrieve it without getting any scratches from the stunted spruce in here. Remember - the decision to search for any geocache and the responsibility for your own safety lies with you.
