  A really unique hike for the area. Instead of reaching a summit, Ing's Mine or otherwise known as the Moose Mountain Ice Caves or Canyon Creek Ice Caves is a massive array of tunnels carved into soapstone. The temperature in the caves is always a steady 1-2 Celsius, which means ice builds up in the caverns and makes for some interesting views.
  The first 6km of this hike is a walk along a service road, with the last 30 minutes going straight up to the caves. If you bring a bicycle, you can ride along the service road and lock the bike up at the base of the mountain. Many hikers opt for this as it trims about 2 hours off your round-trip hike.
  Bring a flashlight and something warm regardless of the time of year. Also, wear a helmet as there have been injuries from rocks and many people bumping their heads in the caves.
