Warning

Please note: To use the services of geocaching.com, you must agree to the terms and conditions in our disclaimer.

Cache is placed very near to World's Edge, one of the finest views in the eastern Smokey's. Wear waterproof shoes and bring your sense of adventure. It is NOT recommended to attempt this cache at night.
Above coordinates are not the actual cache location, they are to the suggested parking area. It is at the end of World's Edge Road. Finding it is part of the adventure! It CAN be reached without driving on dirt roads. The coordinates are to a small intersection where the pavement ends. Please drive carefully and be polite to the neighbors. Their dogs like to roam the road, please don't hit any! Once parked, program in these coordinates:

N 35 23.624'
W 082 15.553'

Walk or drive (at your vehicle's risk) down the road following your GPS. It should lead you right to a fork in the road. From there, you have 2 options. The left road will lead you toward the treasure cache... follow your GPS to:

N 35 23.642'
W 082 15.550'

That should lead you right to the cache, which is a 6" Tupperware-like container. May be buried under leaves in the fall, or snow in the winter.

The right and center roads will lead you to World's Edge and the spectatular view and virtual cache at:

N 35 23.637'
N 082 15.513'

This land is under review to be purchased by the NC Conservationist Society. Hopefully this breathtaking view can be preserved and cleaned up for future generations to enjoy. The land is open to the public. My grandparents own the neighboring property and would very much appreciate that you be respectful to the environment and please do not enter their driveway. If you see them, however, please wave. They know about geocaching, and might enjoy a friendly hello if they pass by.

Oh yeah... BRING YOUR CAMERA!!! The view on a clear day is impossible to describe!

Amazing views! It was a bit challenging to get to the cache and find it under the cover of snow but we've made it. Swapped TBs. TFTH

The view here really is beyond words. Especially at sunset. Oh my, thank you for placing--I'd never have known about this spot had a cache not been here! I left Jeep Jaunt for another time. I can't wait to return and bring my friend so that she can experience this place as well. TFTH!

Found the virtual cache and the view where some people hang glide from, but did not have the coordinates with me for the treasure cache.

Best view I have seen in a long time!

Do NOT follow the google maps directions on how to get to the parking coordinates for this cache, tho! You will end up at a dead end.. Luckily we were looking for Dash Cache & Dot Club on the same day.. the Directions on those cashes are pretty perfect on how to find Worlds Edge Road ..I recommend following those (Caches: GCZFZA & GCZHMM)


You are truly missing out if you don't go looking for this cache & view =)

TFTC!
