Geocache Description:


Park at the small parking lot at the trailhead at Three Forks at N50 00.752 W117 16.910.
This cache is located approximately half way to our SSHT- Payne's Bluff Cache (GCWJH2). Your GPS will show that the cache is .6 kms away.....as a crow flies. Be thankful for the switchbacks that probably double the distance as you gain over 100 meters of elevation.

When Mother Nature destroyed our recommended route of travel to our Payne's Bluff cache the only thing we could do to keep the cache alive was to give directions to the cache via the shorter but steeper route.....thus the name of the cache.
The location of the cache is approximately half way to the upper cache and is a great spot for a break...not only to find the cache but also to enjoy the views of New Denver Glacier in the distance.

After your hike we strongly recommend taking a side trip to the the ghost town of Sandon, which was once the turn of the century Capital City of the Silvery Slocan.
