Grande Cache, Alberta (53, -119) is a spectacularly rugged graticule straddling the British Columbia-Alberta border in the Canadian Rocky Mountains. The northeast corner encloses a small loop of highway 40 including the town of Grande Cache. Most of the centre, about sixty percent of the entire graticule, is off limits to motorized vehicles, being inside the Willmore Wilderness Park. The southwest portion of the graticule includes a couple of stretches of the Yellowhead Highway alongside the headwaters of the Fraser River, and the communities of Foster, Mt. Robson, Shere, Rainbow, Snowshoe, Dunster, Croydon Station and Raush Valley.
