Valley Falls loop cache
I love walking and spend a lot of time at Valley Falls State Park walking. I take many loops depending on how much time I want to spend. This park has around 18 miles of trails and you can walk out and back or different loops. I see few other walkers on the trails so I decided to put a multi cash out.
I decided on a 6.2 mile loop from the parking lot back to the same parking lot. Walking time runs me around 2 ½ hours, of course that is walking not also finding caches. I did not make the caches hard to find and all are along the trails, within 20 ft or so.
This is a 5 part cache. It starts at the parking lot next to the picnic area. It is a 6.2 mile loop back to the parking lot.
The first stop is on Rocky trail, a 1 mile trail starting from the parking lot going through the picnic area. N39° 23.689, W80° 5.152
The second stop is on the Wild Turkey trail, a 1.2 mile trail from the junction of the Rocky and Dogwood trails.
The third stop is on the Dogwood trail, a .8 mile trail starting at the end of the Wild Turkey trail.
The fourth and fifth stops are on the Rhododendron trail, a 3.2 mile trail starting from the end of the Dogwood trail to the parking lot.
This loop is uphill till you reach the second stop then it is mostly down hill to the parking lot.
Please keep in mind that this is a day use park and closes at dark. While there take the time to see the falls. Please stay on the trails, don’t bushwhack.
All the caches are Tupperware type containers and the coordinates for the next part is in the log book in each stop. There will also be a first to find prize in the last stop. Be watchful for muggers. There are four other caches in the park so plan to spend all day caching and enjoying the outdoors.
