Geocache Description:

This cache is along the Old Settlers Trail at Wildcat Mountain. Enjoy the hike. Make sure to look at the scenery and maybe some wildlife.


You will be looking for a big container that can fit alot of swag or trackables. Feel free to add to or trade. Hide back as good as you found it or better.  The 2.5-mile loop trail is rugged and covers a 390-foot elevation difference. Once used by early settlers and later by area farmers, the Old Settlers Trail also winds through three separate pine plantations planted by Ontario students as far back as 1951. This loop trail can be reached from either the northern end of the upper picnic area or from the nature building. Alternatively, hikers can opt to walk only one segment of the Old Settler's Trail. Starting at the nature building, the trail can be taken on the accessible 0.4-mile (one-way) portion to the Taylor Hollow Overlook, Wildcat's best view of the Village of Ontario below.
