Happy Winter! We'll be placing trackables in the Amazing Places Geotour caches at random throughout the season. If you find one, follow the directions and be sure to tag us at #amazingplacesmabr to let us know so we can follow along!
PLEASE NOTE: Due to an ongoing issue of rubbing coins going missing from the caches, they are no longer required to complete the Geotour. You can redeem your cache code collection page with just the GeoClue answers completed to get the Amazing Places Geocoin.

Englishman River Falls Provincial Park features two magnificent waterfalls and is set within a lush old-growth and second-growth forest of Douglas fir, cedar, hemlock, and maple. Breathtaking views, hiking trails, a deep crystal-clear pool for summer swimming, and an ideal place to view salmon spawning in the fall are several reasons to celebrate this Amazing Place. Not to forget is the ecological significance of the Englishman River, an invaluable source of life for plant and fish habitat and for the people who drink daily from its waters.
