The Elgin Trail runs 41 km from Port Stanley on Lake Erie to Southdel Bourne, following Kettle Creek and Dodds Creek, along some country roads for several kilometres, and then goes over the 401 and crosses a forest near the Green Lane landfill site. The trail is well marked with white blazes, but is not well-used, so it is overgrown at times.
This new series highlights the best hikes around the world, trails that we would someday like to hike on and enjoy. There are an assortment of caches along the Elgin trail commemorating these other trails.
This 14.6-km out-and-back trail near Lake Louise, Alberta, is a day hike in Banff National Park. Generally considered a moderately challenging route, it is a very popular area for birding, hiking, and horseback riding, so you'll likely encounter other people while exploring. The trail is open year-round and is beautiful to visit anytime. With every step along the Plain of Six Glaciers trail, the feeling of remoteness intensifies. The lakefront fades away as the path moves over a silty delta, across a rocky traverse and up the spine of a glacial moraine. The trail to the Plain of Six Glaciers Tea House takes you up close to the heart of Mount Lefroy, Mount Victoria and the Victoria Glacier. It offers incredible views, opportunities to see wildlife, and best of all, the option to relax with a cup of hot tea. The iconic log cabin - that’s home to the tea house - is nestled in the woods below the namesake Plain of Six Glaciers. Settle in for tea and a chat with the family members who’ve run the tea house since 1959 and are walking, talking encyclopedias of the area.
Opa Norshley helped me with the hides and the listing. Hope you like these.
The cache is in a tree just off the trail.
