Ione the 1st (Forest Park) Traditional Cache
Ione the 1st (Forest Park)
Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions
in our disclaimer.
Ione the 1st is located in the Forest Park area. The walk down from Skyline is not too strenuous or steep but just remember it will be back uphill to the car. The total distance to the cache is only about 2 miles one way, mostly on fire roads.
The fire roads are well maintained, and look really nice for mountain biking. The cache is not located on the fire road, so if you do bring your bike you'll have to leave it on the road (make sure to lock up it some how) and then take a short hike from the road along a trail. The cache is located along a ridge off the trail not too far so no bushwhacking is needed to reach it (only about 15-20 feet off the trail). Once you reach area the cache is located behind the base of a tree just off the trail.
The container is a clear container with a white top. There is a logbook and camera inside along with some other goodies. Please take a picture of yourself and post what picture number you used.
This cache complies with the geocaching policies for Portland Parks & Recreation (PP&R) properties. Please respect park hours when caching.
