Warning

Please note: To use the services of geocaching.com, you must agree to the terms and conditions in our disclaimer.

This cache is located in Laurel Ridge State Park. This 13,625 acre park stretches along Laurel Mountain from the picturesque Youghiogheny River At Ohiopyle, Pa to the Conemaugh Gorge near Johnstown, Pa. This large park spans Cambria, Fayette, Somerset and Westmoreland Counties. The main feature of the park is the 70 mile Laurel Highlands Hiking Trail, which features shelter and overnight camping. This cache is located along a well marked trail in the park just off of Rt. 653. We named the cache because of some of the cool rock formations along the way. If you use your imagination you may just see a Sleeping Giant. Park at N 39 degrees 57.281 W 079 degrees 22.124. This lot is located off to the right when heading up the hill. Follow blue blaze and yellow blaze trails. This is a two stage cache. The coordinates for the first stage are N 39 degrees 57.279 W 079 degrees 21.868. Here you will find coordinates for the final stage. Please wear appropriate amounts of orange during hunting season from fall through March as Laurel Ridge is open to hunting and trapping. As always, watch your step, have fun and be careful.

Found this while camping on the trail. I had trouble for a while. (plugged in the wrong co-ords!--twice!) Loved the cache. Very clever, and fun, too. Thanks. TNLN SL

Beautiful day to hike on the Laurel Ridge Hiking Trail.
Quite a tough downhill hike with leaves covering the rocks and many roots of the trees.
Loved the 1st stage! Beautiful symbol of love!
The second stage was totally cool!
No TB though!
TFTC!

We love the Laurel Highlands Hiking Trail. We did this stretch of it many many years ago in a blizzard!!

We had trouble with stage one and the coordinates took us off the trail and there were many things that looked like the hint. We had pretty much given up and went back to the trail only to find stage one by accident!! By our GPS, stage 1 was about 70 feet off. We loved the cache container at stage 2!! A fun and creative cache!
