Crystal Falls Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Forest Dragon: This cache had a good run at this location for over 11 years. The location was always a bit of a party spot in the summer but with all the recent development in this part of Coquitlam, this trail has become even more popular. Unfortunately the city doesn't really manage this area and folks have been leaving garbage and human waste behind. This area has become so busy that it's hard to find a muggle proof spot at this location.

Geocache Description:


Cache by Forest Dragon

Directions:
Drive up Shaughessy Street in Port Coquitlam until you get to its end at Karley Cres. The entrance to the trail, going down to the Coquitlam river bank, is not marked, except for the blue sign, which says “MOTORIZED VEHICLES INCLUDING MOTORBIKES PROHIBITED”

Crystal Falls is located approximately 3 km from the trail entrance. The trail is often very wet. There is one puddle that can be 45 cm deep at times. Be sure to wear your boots unless the weather has been dry for a long time.

Cache Container:
1L Lock & Lock inside a Green Metal Ammo Box

Original Cache Contents:

  1. First To Find Prize - $10.00 Chapters Gift Card
  2. Second To Find Prize – Official Travel Bug Dog Tags
  3. Third To Find Prize – Zipper Pull Compass
Wind up Bull Dog, Plastic Dog, 2 plastic frogs, Canada Flag Thermometer Magnet, Rubber Canada Ball, Ladybug Magnet, Plastic Snake

GPS Used:
Garmin Etrex Vista C and Garmin Etrex Legend. Satellite reception is tricky. It is easiest to find the cache by starting at the clearing close to the base of the falls to get the best reading. Rehide it well. There are many muggles in this area during the summer.
