Geocache Description:

Perched 325’ above the ocean, this cache enjoys a dramatic vista encompassing the waters, islands and mountains of Upper Cook Inlet.

From the Kincaid chalet, travel SSW about .1 mile to the Biathalon Shooting Range at N61 09.150 W150 03.371. Following established meandering trails, climb 110’ to the high point directly south of the Range, at N61 09.052 W150 03.368. Here a bench provides a resting place. To the north you’ll see the former antiaircraft missile bunkers, now recycled into park facilities.

Travel eastwards along the developed trail to N61 09.014 W150 03.248, where rough planking forms a boardwalk leading through a tunnel of vegetation. Follow this path off the main trail until it opens onto a small grassy area with a bench at the top of the bluff. Access the rough trail along the bluff and move east 75 yards along the path. A faint game trail will be visible at this location, heading northwest towards the top of the knoll, above and behind the bench. Use this trail to move towards your goal. DON’T create a new path directly from the bench to the cache!

Please use care when accessing the container, moving only one piece of camouflage to get to the ammo can to help preserve its hiding place. Only .2 miles from pavement as the crow flies, it seems as wild as when Europeans first came to Upper Cook Inlet. Enjoy the view from Serenity Bench!
