Geocache Description:

Another cache to find while hiking around Panthertown Valley

The 6,295 acre Panthertown Valley is one of the most unique and diverse natural areas in this region. SIERRA magazine described Panthertown Valley as "one of the least known, but most magnificent areas in the Southern Appalachians." Others have called it the "Yosemite of the East" due to the granite cliffs and domes that abruptly rise 200-300 feet from the valley floor. This unusual valley is home to 11 different natural communities, including the rare Southern Appalachian bog and the swamp-forest bog community. These communities harbor numerous rare plants, including at least 8 globally endangered plant species. The headwaters of the East Fork of the Tuckaseegee River and 20 miles of native brook trout streams are also located in the valley.

The cache -- a medium Lock&Lock container -- is located just off of a trail that runs between Big Green Mountain and Little Green Mountain. When hiking through Panthertown I recommend printing the Panthertown Trail System map. Enjoy your stay in Panthertown Valley!
