Jefferson Memorial Forest’s latest master plan released in
October of 2008 included upgrades to the Scott’s Gap section of the
forest. It called
for an interpretive nature trail among the
improvements. A scaled
down version of the proposed nature trail has been constructed and
circles the outside of the meadow behind the parking
lot. It will eventually
be enlarged and include points of interest information
signs. You can access
this loop trail near the upper picnic table or the Southeast end of
the parking lot near Scott’s Gap Road. 
The trail does provide a good way to view nature in the surrounding
area. On separate
occasions last year I saw among others many bluebirds, two Pileated
woodpeckers, a Red Tail Hawk, and a Red Fox.
The cache is a small cammod RX bottle hidden near the creek
adjacent to the Scott’s Gap Nature Trail.
