77A130 is monumented in the top of the southwest concrete abutment of the Swift Creek Bridge on the Yellowhead Highway. Easy access to 79C602 can be had from the George Hicks Regional Park on the south side of Swift Creek, southwest of the bridge.

Swift Creek, as one might expect, is a salmon spawning stream, so please don't "muddy the waters".
