At 5250 feet, you
get a 360 degree view of the surrounding mountain peaks in the
area. To the southeast you see Trestle Peak, Trout Peak to the
Southwest, Moose Mountain to the west and of course Lunch Peak to
the Northeast.
From near this
cache location you can jump onto the Quartz Creek trail (Tr-55),
head west to the junction of the Trestle Ridge trail which takes
you to Trestle ridge to the north or Trout Peak to the south. If
you cross the road and head east on the trail you will pick up the
Bee top-Round top Trail (tr-120) which will take you to Trestle
Peak then along the ridge line to Round top and eventually to Bee
top mountain.
I’m told there’s
lots of beautiful hiking along these trails and would love to make
it out there one day. I know you will find some great caches along
the way as well. At the time of listing, there are over fifteen
caches in the area. We always see moose when we’re up on the ATV’s
so keep your cameras handy.
Cache is a 4-way
lock & lock, very well camoed and stuffed full of goodies. This
area is used primarily in the fall as camping sites during hunting
season. Cache should not be easily spotted unless you are really
looking for it. Use the spoiler picture if you’re headed up this
way so you don’t walk away with a frown.
