On the spectacular new High Note trail on top of Whistler Mountain. 2 caches hidden along this trail on Sunday September 3, 2006. Try to get them both, after getting the Whistler Peak micro cache. Will scan and upload map and photos soon.
Hard to rate this one for difficulty. If you're really hardy, you can hike up the 1300 m. from Whistler village (700 m elev) to the Peak (for that, I would rate the terrain as a 5). Most normal people will pay the $30 for the Gondola from the village to the Roundhouse Lodge (@1850 m), and then take the Peak Chair (via trail # 4 on the map) the last 310 m. to the summit (@2160 m)
Cache is a Tupperware type container, painted flat black, containing Geocache note, logbook, pencil, and a few trade items. It is located approx a few hundred metres from the east end of the trail at Musical Bumps trail.
The circuit is approx 10 kms, only 345 elevation CHANGE. It is NOT A WALK IN THE PARK. Wear good hiking boots, bring water and food, wear good SUNSCREEN as there are very few shaded areas.
After finding the cache, head east to the Musical Bumps trail, with several options from there back down to the valley (very long), the Roundhouse (gondola) or the Peak (chair).
Not available in winter due to the snow. Probably limited to July to October.
