Heading to Banff... which caches are the best?

Hey,

 

I'm going camping in Banff this coming weekend, and am looking to do a little geocaching.

 

What are your recommendations for the best caches? Or must see places? I've been to banff quite a few times but am always looking for more places to explore!

 

We just left Banff yesterday and are in Calgary now. Definately do:

 

Don't Eat the Rhubarb - tour of an old coal mining ghost town ...may as well do Cascade Ghosts virtual while you are there

 

Banff Upper Hot Springs Earthcache

 

Limestone Hoodoos in Banff Earthcache

 

Moneyed Waters Earthcache

 

and if you want to drive a little further:

 

Mirrorview on Fariview - hike 3.8km uphill (340M elevation rise) to Lake Agnes Teahouse and the cache is just below it...probably one of my top 3 caches of all time now

 

two others by Lake Louise on the way to the previous cache

 

A Rainbow in the Mist - highest waterfall I have ever seen

 

Valley of Ten Peaks Earthcache

 

There are many others around but these are the best we did. We did not get up to the Sulphur Mountain Virtual as we went up the Jasper Tramway a few days before but I am sure this would be a good one to do as well.

 

Mike
