This is two wheel drive accessible, but very uneven in places on a rough gravel road. You can almost drive to the cache. Bring your camera!!
* Buchanan Lookout (elevation 6,263 feet/1,909 metres) is a great day-use spot for family outings, with lovely flowers in season, spectacular views over Kootenay Lake and the mountains that cradle Kaslo far below, and a 2-km loop trail below the lookout that provides access to viewpoints on the rock bluffs. Buchanan Lookout was the first fire lookout constructed in British Columbia (1920) and the sixth to be registered in Canada. Interpretive displays on fire lookouts are also located in the present tower, a 14' x 14' cab built in 1965. Travel north to Kaslo, then head west on highway #31A for 3 km to the Blue Ridge Forest Services Road. Follow the main road for 7.5 miles (12 km) to the lookout, staying right at the 9-km junction.
* The Lookout on Mount Buchanan also provides ramps used by hand gliders for launching. The two ramps are managed by the Kaslo Hang Gliding Club.
