Geocache Description:

Historic Allatoona Pass

Welcome to Historic Allatoona Pass. This area is rich in Civil War history and in the fall there is a re-enactment that takes place of the Battle of Allatoona. The cache is located along the trails of this area.

GeorgiaTrails.com offers this description: "More than 170 feet high, and 95 feet long, this immense scar in the earth was dug through the rugged Allatoona Mountains to permit trains on the Western and Atlantic Railroad to get to Chattanooga. It was an engineering marvel of its time. Only the tunnel at Tunnel Hill was more difficult to build."

There are two ways to get on the "path" that leads to the cache. One is easier than the other!

Read how the deep cut occurred and what historical significance it had during the Civil War. Very interesting!

You are looking for a regular cache container that should be well hidden. Please rehide well as this cache went missing recently.
