Geocache Description:


Park at the trailhead. Directions to trailhead are in the trailhead coords and description AND below.

A 4.4 mile in and back hike. We LOVE this hike, it's one of our favorites! The best time of year is Mid-May thru end of June. If you get into summer months it gets very hot (and hoesntly not as pretty). Hardly anyone goes here so its quiet and peaceful.

There's a tiny pencil in the small pill container, so BYOP just in case. Great hike, lets us know how you liked it! $5 for the FTF!!! Good luck!

DIRECTIONS: From Portland, take I-5 south to Salem where you will pick up on Hwy 22 East at Exit 253. Take this East for almost 69 miles. Just before mile marker 69, turn right onto Straight Creek Road (paved). Take this just over 4 miles to a fork where there is supposed to be a sign for Coffin Mountain Trailhead but we did not see one. It is road 1168 and there is a sign designating it as such. Take this right fork and go 3.8 miles to an unmarked road on the left. A few dozen yards on this road and you are at the trailhead.

If you are coming from the east (Bend), take Hwy 20 to the Hwy 20/22 junction where you will go right and continue on Hwy 22 to the same point, except coming from this direction, Straight Creek Roadwill be just after milepost 69. Continue as above.
