66C162 was monumented in 1966 in the top of the southeast abutment of the Sackum Overhead, at the southeast corner of the overpass. It tends to get covered with rocks and stones over the years, but is otherwise pretty easy to spot.

At about 13.2 kilometers south of where the Nicola Highway leaves the Trans-Canada at Spences Bridge, the Sackum Overhead carries the Highway over the railway. Just off the south end of the overpass a road leads off to the east, affording a good parking spot.
