A late fall exploration and geocaching outing in a Peace Hills Park near Wetaskiwin, AB

I returned to the trails near the south end of Battle Lake today to avenge a 10-year old geocache DNF - “Did Not Find”.

A planned 15.5 km hike took me from Islet Lake Staging Area to Central Staging Area and out to what felt like “way out there” places.

It was last day of my 4-day Kananaskis visit and I saved this mostly flat ramble along Baldy Pass Trail following a string of geocache hides over to Lusk Pass Trail

The geocaches hidden on the way up to the summit of Horton’s Hill in Kananaskis have been on my bucket list for years. Today was the day I made the climb of this steep hill.

I did a short hike to find a long-solved geocache puzzle called “Pathinder”
