Geocache Description:

I’ve been looking for the second waterfall on Glady Creek since I placed GC1CXF4, Glady Creek Waterfall Cache and I finally found it. It’s a lot farther upstream than I thought.



The book I have says that there are two waterfalls on Glady Creek, the 27' Falls and Twin Falls. It says they are close together but they are actually .66 mile apart. I couldn’t find the other falls and started wondering if they were the same falls with two different names. I finally found 27' Falls.

The lower one where my first cache is Twin Falls. 27' Falls is much easier to get to than the book says too. Go to the big parking lot to the right at the bottom of the hill at Valley Falls State Park. There is a gate at the end of the parking lot which is the trailhead for Rhododendron Trail. Follow the trail, which is the old road to Hammond. It will make a turn to the right and head uphill. There is a sign with an arrow showing the turn. If you go straight, you will go to Twin Falls. Follow the trail, which runs parallel to Glady Creek until there is a smaller trail heading to the left. I marked it with a rock cairn. That trail will take you to 27' Falls. It’s a 1.75 mile hike one way.

The waterfall is just outside the Park. I wanted to keep the cache outside the Park but not have it on the other side of the creek in case of high water so it’s hidden above the falls. It’s a beautiful area so please don’t tear it up looking for the cache. The area does get visitors so make sure the cache is hidden well when you replace it. I’m leaving a good hint to limit damage from seekers.

Valley Falls State Park closes at dark. They are very serious about that. The signs say all cars will be towed after dark. It’s a 3.5 mile round trip so make sure you have plenty of time to get back. Please don't try this cache from private property, use the Park.
