Signal and Tracker at Wilson/Hicks FSR - the Gateway to the Alps Alturs and Dennis Basin
Wilson Creek Geocaching Adventure
The "Wilson Creek Geo-Adventure" will involve approximately 100 kms of driving.
35 kms is on a paved highway. The other 65 kms is on the Wilson Creek FSR which is described as a good, 2 wheel drive, gravel road, and while that is mostly true the section from Wilson Lake East along Wilson Lake to Wilson Lake West has become really rough and there is going to be some pinstripping. Having said that if you don't want to damage your vehicle you can turn around at East Wilson Lake and then drive up the Wilson Lake Road on the other side of Box Lake.
In order to locate the final cache: "Wilson Creek Geo-Adventure Final" you must visit ten caches. Each cache will have a clue written on the lid as well as in the logbook. Write the clue down.
This Adventure will take you to several pristine mountain lakes and spectacular waterfalls with plenty of opportunities for camping, hiking, and fishing. To get the most enjoyment out of this caching series we strongly recommend bringing your camping gear. Also don't forget your camera, bug spray, and fishing rods. As always, remember to be bear aware.
Hicks Forest Service Road is the gateway to not only one but two amazing Alpine Hikes. The Alps Alturus and Dennis Basin.
One of the Pirates all time favorite hikes is the "Alps Alturas Trail". The hike begins 27kms up the logging road from where this cache is placed. High peaks, pristine alpine lakes, and mountain goats scrambling amongst the cliff faces all await those who take the time to explore farther up the road. Also, approx. 13 kms up this same road is the "Dennis Creek Trail" known for it's wildflowers and scenic views.
Driving Directions: Turn off highway 6 at Rosebery onto "Wilson Creek Rd East. Follow the road to the 3km sign. The cache is located very near the intersection of the Forest Service Road.
Camping is available nearby at Rosebery Provincial Campground or farther up the road.
As this is a stand-a-lone cache, you are welcome to just log this cache if you don't have time to take in the entire Adventure.
