Geocache Description:

Short 1 mile hike along Goat Creek above Riffe Lake and past Taidnapam Campground. The Trail continues to the top of the ridge and some lakes beyond.




This hike takes you to a beautiful waterfall. When I first saw it I immediately thought of a scene from the Movie "Last Of The Mohicans". I could imagine the local Kiona Indians using the deep cavern like overhangs along this trail for shelter as they traveled and hunted.


I fell in love with this spot so much that I had to take my IronMaiden here also. She has had a total knee replacement and suffers from mild congestive heart failure. If she can make it so can you!!


It was a tough go for her with 2-3 feet of snow piled on the road for the first half mile but when we went into the timber it was a bare trail. As she went at her own pace I set about clearing the limbs and downed trees from the winters storms along the trail with a hand saw. When we reached this spot we sat on a small bench made from a rock ledge and had lunch. It was peacefull and serene.


Sattelite reception is spotty at times so read the clues and rehide so it cant be seen from the trail or the lookout vantage point.
