Geocache Description:

Two miles down the Tahoe Rim Trail, with an elevation gain of 500 feet or so. Trail is rocky in spots, but the elevation gain is gradual.

This cache is along the Tahoe Rim Trail south of Kingsbury Grade. It gets its name from the fact that when we get to this spot we are usually ready to find a tree or rock to step behind. But there are nice views here too. It's a small ammo box and is about two miles down the trail. There is some elevation gain, probably 500 feet or so. Along the trail there is a good view of Lake Tahoe and several nice views of the Carson Valley.

Park in the lot at the base of the Stagecoach Express chairlift. The trail begins just to the right (West) of the chairlift. It goes up an open slope for about half a mile, then goes into the trees at N 38 57.355 W 119 53.326.

Note: as 911-BrownFamily points out, the terrain difficulty on this one is somewhat higher if there is snow on the ground. This one is not designed to be found while the snow is there; you might need to bring a shovel. :-)
