The Howler Wolf cache is located in the Upper Wolf Trail System just north of Newport, Washington. Heavy canopy can cause your GPS to vary. You might want to read the "Hint" before you go after this one.
The second cache in this trail system also begins at the Upper Wolf Trail Head. This system was developed in 1990. It is located on the north edge of Newport. To access the trail head, proceed through Newport and follow Highway 20 out of town. Just as you begin to leave town, turn west onto Larch Street. This street is located just past the US Forest Service compound and just before you head up the hill that leads out of town. Follow Larch Street for about a block and then bear to the right onto Laurelhurst Drive. Laurelhurst Drive turns from pavement to gravel and a sign says that it is a dead end. However, stay on Laurelhurst Drive for about half a mile until you arrive at the trailhead parking lot located on the west side of the road.
The Howler Trail is an excellent one to maneuver on cross country skis in the winter or a mountain bike during the warmer seasons. The trails are very wide and easy to maneuver. No motorized vehicles are allowed.
Access to Howler is located at the trail head just east of the parking area. The trail head for this section is gated and well marked. Follow the signs to the Howler Loop.
The cache is located in an ammo container. Please take the time to restore the container to its hiding spot. Disguise it well.
