PLANNING

We will be spending 2 days in Jasper on our way to Kelowna. I have identified 6 caches in the near vicinity of the townsite and will see how many I can find.

OUTCOME

11:45 am This was my 3rd search of the day. This was the first of four caches along a trail on the east side of Cottonwood creek.

Here is my posting to the geocaching.com website:

This is a great idea for a set of 4 caches that encompasses a number of great viewpoints. SL. TFTC.

Here are a few photos:
