The cache is located streamside off a fisherman's trail between Big Pine Creek and Upper Sage campgrounds. Elevation is 7,637 feet. Do not attempt to cross the creek. There is easy access to the trail leading to this cache from either the low end of Big Pine Creek campground or from the upper end of Upper Sage campground. It is best to park in the lot near the Big Pine Creek campground entrance, cross the bridge then hike down.
Our immediate and extended families have camped and fished here many times during the past 40+ years. Please enjoy the views of the surrounding mountains, and the refreshing stream. Bring a fishing pole for stocked trout fishing. There are several trails, lakes and glaciers in the area. Our family continues to call the area "Glacier Lodge," although the second lodge burnt down several years ago at the Big Pine Creek campground, and all that remains is foundation rubble. The nearby general store sells large rootbeer floats for an extra treat. The original cache contents have a fisherman/outdoors theme. PLEASE KEEP THE THEME WHEN EXCHANGING SWAG. You are looking for a standard size ammo can. NOTE: Glacier Lodge Road may be closed during winter (approx. Nov-Apr) Cache on!
