Geocache Description:

Great level, easy hike along the White River, the cache is about a mile from FS road 73 trail head.

Drive east on State Highway 410 from Enumclaw 24.8 miles to Huckleberry Creek Road #73. Turn right (south) onto Road #73 and follow 0.4 mile to trailhead just past bridge. Trailhead is on left (east) side of road. The trailhead has 10 parking spaces on road shoulder. Forest service pass is required.

This trail is an early and late season trail which follows along the west side of the White River. At mile point 2.1 is Skookum Falls. The best time to view the falls is from early spring to June.

The cache is an ammo box with a lot of the ten essentials and cool toys. Glow sticks, survival poncho, water proof matches, etc.

As you head down the trail from the Greenwater side you will see the octopus tree (lots of roots exposed), retrace your steps about a 100 feet, look to your left. You should be able to see the brown tree stump, that is the guard.
