After solving the puzzle, this cache still offers an access challenge.  Can you find the closest parking and driest route?

¿Do Geese See God?

Beautiful hike during spring, summer or fall.  Good views, lots of wildflowers.  The adventurous can hike all the way to Chena Hot Springs from here.

Angel Rocks

Pleasant hike, ski, snowshoe trip from Chena Hot Springs Resort.

Bear Paw Butte

Float from Steese to Elliot Highways, bushwhack from Haystack subdivision, or ski the river in winter.  Tough access no matter how you go for it.

Between a Rock and a Hard Place

Access from Nome Creek drainage off the Steese Highway.  Above the treeline and nothing but ridges and valleys as far as the eye can see.

Big Country

This cache is a nice walk from the Birch Hill Nordic ski area parking lot.  Those with post privileges can drive most of the way to the cache.

Birch Hill Cache

The first cache placed out here.  Very scenic location out Murphy Dome Road.  High clearance vehicles can drive all the way to the high point.

Blueberry Domes

This hike was a very pleasant surprise.  A definite must do!

Bluff Point

This cache ended up on the "Scramble" list because of the walking and driving distances involved.  Access to the final stage is on a new boardwalk.

Canine Caper

One of Alaska's first five caches placed.  Pleasant hike or ski from Chena Hot Springs resort.

Chena Cache

Up on top of Bear Paw Butte.  Couldn't find it under winter conditions, but it might still be there.

Chena Coin Cache

Toughest cache hike we've done yet.  And...it's not even at the summit.  The views are wonderful throughout the trip, though. Take plenty of water!

Chena Dome Cache

Pleasant meander along the shore of Chena Lake.

Chena Lakes Cub Cache

Read our winter and summer logs for ideas about accessibility.  This is one of our favorite areas to run our dogs in the winter, but summertime offers great wildlife viewing if you wear the right footgear.

Chuggah Chuggah!!!

Winter access is the best.  See Ladybug Kids' log for details.

Clear Creek Butte Cache

Visit a historic interpretive site for the Davidson Ditch which provided water for gold mining activities.

Ditch Niche

Easier to do in the winter if you can read the mushing trail map.  Summertime is fun, too, due to all the waterfowl one can see along the way.  Just remember, these are wetlands.

Dutch Treat, een Nederlandse traktatie in Alaska

Fun little ramble to a popular rock climbing spot off the Elliot Highway.

Fruit Cache

Great hike, wonderful views, interesting geology!

Granite Tors

Lots of people frequent this area to exercise their dogs and themselves.

Jet-Set

The Fairbanks caching community is active and growing rapidly with more than 100 caches (up from less than 30 in 2004) within a 30 mile radius. This is a list of caches in the Fairbanks, North Pole and surrounding areas that we classify as "scramble" caches.  Our definition of "scamble" is that you may get muddy, bug-bitten, hike between 1/2 and eight miles one-way, or use skis, dogs, snowmachine, ATV, horse or boat for access.  Do some of these caches if you wish to experience some of the "real" Alaska.
