This cache is located in Chimney Rocks Park, off Rt. 36, south of Hollidaysburg, PA. The entrance to the park is marked by a sign, but it can be difficult to spot until you're right on top of it, due to tall weed growth on the adjacent property. There is a nice parking lot, restrooms and picnic facilities, so take the family and enjoy the spectacular views from the lookout points. Permission to place this cache was graciously granted by the Borough of Hollidaysburg, with the following stipulations:
"...with the understanding that the participants do so at their own risk, that participants heed all signage and do not access areas that are off-limits to the public (eg. the quarry cliff face or debris pile at the bottom of the quarry face, or in the lime kiln) or that would present a hazard to those attempting to hide or locate a geocache, and that the normal use of the park by the public is not interrupted or disturbed by these activities."
This is a beautiful landmark, a long-time favorite hiking spot of ours, made accessible to more people by the construction of the park, and it is our hope that our fellow geocachers will respect the Borough's instructions and will actually improve the park's condition by participating in "Cache In, Trash Out".
Although the first part of the hike is a little steep, the rest of it is a pleasant walk through beautiful scenery, with breathtaking vistas from the lookout points along the way. We've designated the lookouts Lower (N 40° 25.170' W 078° 23.296' Elevation 1254 ft), Middle (N 40° 25.156' W 078° 23.198' Elevation 1349 ft), and Upper (N 40° 25.238' W 078° 23.162' Elevation 1396 ft).
Parking lot coordinates N 40° 25.102' W 078° 23.214' Elevation 1239 ft.
Container is a small loc-n-loc painted green.
There is another LETTERBOX cache close by. It is right off the trailing coming up the mountain in a tree. That is not this cache. If that is what you found, keep looking!
Please make sure to re-hide this as you found it. Thank you
FYI...The park closes as dusk. Enjoy!!!
