70 Mile Butte Hike |
| p. 5: Hike Description |
"...until you come to the marker directing
you southeast towards the Sleeping Lion Butte." |
The marker is missing. The butte is illustrated
on p. 6 of the Guide and can't be missed from the fence line. |
| p. 9: Global Positioning System Navigation (NAD
83) Table |
Northing Coordinate for Sleeping Lion marker
should be 5,452,258. |
This coordinate corresponds to a coulee that doesn't need to
be crossed. As long as you are walking along the fence line, you
shouldn't need any coordinates. |
| p. 9: Global Positioning System Navigation (NAD
83) Table |
The reference to the "Top of 70 Mile Butte"
landmark is actually the coordinates for the head of the Sleeping
Lion Butte |
Top of 70 Mile Butte is at GPS coordinates 306,773
Easting and 5,452,559 Northing. |
North Gillespie Hike |
p. 29: Getting to North Gillespie |
"Bypassing the ranch yard..." |
You actually turn south just before entering the
ranch yard and head up a hill on a dirt path. |
p. 29: Getting to North Gillespie |
"You will find a Parks Canada marker on the
west (right) side..." |
The "Parks Canada" marker consists of
a weathered single fence post about 5' high. There is no signage
or pull-out. There may be the remains of an overgrown track leading
west. Use the GPS coordinates to find the trailhead instead. |
p. 30: Hike Outline |
"road west to former fenceline..." |
Someone want to tell me how to follow a "former"
fenceline that isn't there anymore? Use your compass or GPS to
travel due west from the trailhead. |
p. 34: Global Positioning System Navigation (NAD
83) Table |
"Hike beginning and ending" |
According to my GPS, the coordinates should be
Easting 337,537 and Northing 5,441,634, about 100 m different
from the Guide. |
p. 34: Global Positioning System Navigation (NAD

The ridge overlooking Little Breed Creek has no
GPS entry |
The viewpoint at Little Breed Ridge is at 334,292/5,443,356 |
Map insert between p. 34 and 35 |
UTM Coordinate Grid is not correct. |
Even when comparing the GPS coordinates given
in the book with the map, the grid is 1,000 m too low in its Easting,
and about 100-200 m too low in its Northing. For GPS coordinates,
use the table on p. 34 instead. When using the map, take bearings
with a compass instead. |
