A Walk in the Past
This Cache is located along a piece of CPR and Yoho park history. The trailhead is located in the Kicking Horse campground (just tell the attendant that you are taking the "Walk in the Past" trail they tell you where to park) As you approach the cache site you will get a good chance of getting a really cool picture of a train. It will be very clear what your destination is. At the end are the remains of a narrow-gauge locomotive that was used to haul away rubble during the construction of the "Big Hill". Just after entering the camp ground you will come across a stone structure to your right (I forgot to mark it's location on my gpsr) it is the stone oven used when this site was first used as the construction camp for the "Big Hill".
Extra Karma point if you e-mail me with name of the Alberta town the locomotive came from.
