Welcome to Champlain Heights Trails cache series!
Champlain Heights was one of the last areas of Vancouver to be urbanized. This residential community was planned in the early 1970s, with curved roads and cul-de-sacs serving a mix of housing types and income levels. The area consists mainly of various townhouse complexes and co-op housing units. Everett Crowley Park and Champlain Heights Park is located nearby. This series of 5 caches introduces you to the various trails that connect the various residences to the green spaces. I hope you enjoy your walk!
Champlain Heights Trails #2 - Birch trail
This letterbox hybrid cache can best be found by parking on Matheson Crescent and the beginning of Birch trail.
From the junction of Birch trail and Matheson Crescent walk west to the second lamp post, stop, turn south along a smaller sidewalk and walk to the second dead snag on the east side of the sidewalk. Stop. Look low and into darkness just a meter to the east. Stamp will be inside. It's no longer self inking so please bring ink!
Good luck!
