BC Rockies Treasure Trails
The partners in BC Rockies Treasure Trails have established geocaches in various locations up and down the valley in special places that hi-light the wonders and beauty of the Windermere Valley. The geocaches are on trails or loops that make nice and easy day-trips. Take the time to enjoy the scenery and the wildlife while you search. Come back often – we will be adding more trails and caches.
