Skookumchuck Narrows is on the traditional territory of the Shíshálh. The word “Skookumchuck” comes from Chinook jargon, a pidgin indigenous language used as a trade language between indigenous groups and sometimes with European settlers. In Chinook Jargon skookum means strong or powerful, and chuck means water.
Geocache is on the Roland Point viewing area of the Narrows. For best view times of the whirlpools, check the tide charts and you may see them better at the North Point. Also keep an eye out for kayakers in the water navigating the rapids. The full hike is about 8km return hike (roughly 2-2.5hrs + viewing time). The cache is a small Lock&Lock style container and located just off the main path.
Cache has been placed according to BC Park Geocaching Guidelines
