JordanDyck Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Hi all, I am new to the Kananaskis (alberta, canada) area and I am looking to try geocaching this year. More specifically, my girlfriend and I enjoy kayaking and hiking, and i was wondering if there are any trails that may involve a lake kayaking trip to a trail and then a hike to a nice lookout point or something. (sort of romantic you know?)Any trail/geocaching suggestions would be great. thanks Jordan Quote Link to comment
+NanCycle Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 If you scroll down the main forum page, you'll see Geocaching groups by country. If you ask your question in the Canada forum, you'll get the attention of cachers who are more knowledgeable of the area you are asking about. Quote Link to comment

+CanadianRockies Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 (edited) Welcome to K-Country! I'm told there's some good kayaking in the area. I know there's lots of great hiking. For a good combination of kayaking/hiking/geocaching, one possibility would be Upper Kananaskis Lake. You could kayak to the "Hawke Island Estate" cache (GC1DWEX). From there, continue paddling to the west shore, where you can find three more caches on three different points (GC12TNV, GC12TNY, and GC1322P). Then stretch your legs a bit with a fairly short walk to GC1V546 and/or GC78C6. As you kayak back to your vehicle, you might want to stop at "Sometimes an Island, Sometimes Not!" (GC1DCDP) and "A Chimney On The Point" (GC1DCE2), both of which are interesting places along the shore. If you prefer a longer trip, then consider kayaking to "Spray Lakes Reservoir Bike & Hike" (GC1F2AE) and hiking to GCHY0F and/or GC1F5QF (EarthCache). Lots of Calgary cachers enjoy playing in the Kananaskis, so another good resource for you would be our local forums. Edited January 29, 2011 by CanadianRockies Quote Link to comment
