Seek the Peaks this Weekend!
Seek the Peaks Geocaching – July 23-24
Sun Peaks, BC (July 20, 2011) –There are over one million active geocaches around the world that adventurers search for using Global Positioning Systems (GPS). This weekend, July 23 and 24, Sun Peaks brings geocaching to the resort on a slightly smaller scale during Seek the Peaks Geocaching Weekend.
Whether you’re a first time seeker or an advanced geocacher, the weekend has components that will appeal to all abilities in your family.
On Saturday, July 23, join Discover Sun Peaks Adventures for a fun and informative introduction to the popular sport of geocaching. Participants will learn to use a GPS and how to follow the coordinates to ten caches scattered around the valley area of Sun Peaks on the Nordic and Snowshoe trails.
On Sunday, July 24, caches will be hidden up in the alpine of Sun Peaks, accessed by the Sunburst Chairlift. Registered geocachers can get a discounted lift ticket and take their GPS skills over 6000 feet as they hunt for caches. Prizes are included in all of the caches.
