If geocaching is a hike with a purpose, then geocaching at Alberta movie locations is pure excitement. Why not pair up a trip into “new Hollywood” with a geocaching adventure? Discover places many Albertans take for granted through the eyes of Clint Eastwood or Brad Pitt!
Reel Adventures is an Alberta Tourism website that promotes and encourages visits into the badlands and beyond. Discover where Marilyn Monroe broke her leg (Banff) and where parts of the movie Superman were filmed (Horseshoe Canyon). Feel star-struck as you travel into the Rockyford area to visit the filming locations of Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal in Brokeback Mountain. There's even a chance to win movie passes for a year, just for following a movie map! Check out their page for more details.
After you’ve settled on following in the footsteps of your favourite movie icon, grab your iPhone and/or your GPS and plot a route. Better yet, plant a new geocache that helps others discovers the Hollywood history that you have discovered and create your own ‘walk of fame’ across the prairies.
Great tip: download some movie soundtracks to set the mood as you make your way out of Calgary to explore.
Carpe (the movie) cache!

Neat angle on geocaching! Geocachers could apply this in other places as well.
Thanks for your comment, Eric! It's always great to multi-task an adventure...I feel like I get more in that way.
