Geocache Description:


Alrighty, here is a cache you can hike to, or make it better by finishing it off rappelling four waterfalls with the final fall at Hidden Haven, (not too far from the Lost Eden Cache)


Check the additional waypoints for help in navigating the trail. Trail starts out at about 7000 feet elevation, tops out at 7900 feet and then desend to about 7500 feet elevation at the cache site. The trail is easy to follow at first, then watch for the orange tape markers, then just follow the ridge (using waypoints) to a ravine that leads into Benson Creek.


From here you can turn around and hike back out (it is roughly 1 3/4 miles one way) or bring your rope, beeners and harness and desend the four waterfalls. The first fall is about 100 feet and the longest.


Don't forget to enjoy the views on your way in and out, it sure is pristine country.
