Geocache Description:

This cache is located at the start of the Pacific Crest Trail in Washington, right off Historic Highway 14 and the Bridge of the Gods. The terrain is a gradual uphill, maintained trail, and can be reached easily and quickly with the clues. GPS reception is spotty with the tree coverage, so picture and hints are highly recommended.

The Pacific Crest Trail is a 2,650 trail from the borders of Mexico to Canada that goes through California, Oregon, and Washington, and a total of 300 hikers thru-hike it completely every year! As an homage to those amazing-- and arguably insane-- people, welcome to the "Are You Up for the Crest? Start of PCT Washington" Cache! The start of the Pacific Crest Trail in Washington is nearly directly across from the Bridge of the Gods and on the historic Highway 14 that follows the contours of the Columbia and Lewis and Clark's trail. Parking is available right next to the trailhead, which is marked by the following sign:

FTF prize are special coins! A nice bounty awaits all cachers-- good luck and be sure to check out the We Love Highway 14! series on your way!
