Yellow-question Would anyone out there know the GPS Coordinates for the ICE CAVES on this mountain. Referred to as Canyon Ceek Ice Cave, Bragg Creek Ice Cave and sometimes incorrectly referred to as "Ing's Mine, (coal mine). Yellow-confused

I don't know how close these are... I got them from a geocache called "Ings Mine Tic Tac Toe"

I recall someone telling me a couple years back that the gov. had closed the entrance to it? See if you can check that out.

Access to the Ice Cave, discovered in 1905 was blocked during the year 2000. Several accidents had been reported there causing its closure. Yellow-rolleyes Apparently they just blocked the Canyon Creek Road close to hwy 66. Let It All Out

You park near the gate to the Canyon creek road and walk or bike down the road (6.5 km) to the caves. Can't miss them.

I found this on Google maps...
maps.google.ca/maps?f=...4&t=h&z=13

I was interested because of the proximity to Elbow falls and McLean Creek and I had not heard of it.

Found it with Google:

DMM: N50 54.530 W114 48.471
(for anyone not familiar with navigating, GPS, etc, this means north 50 degrees, 54.530 minutes, etc...)

Park here: (about 15km W of Bragg Creek)
