Geocache Description:

"This is Zoar Valley" Series 8 of 12 caches in the Zoar Valley MUA - enjoy.



Cache Details
Not so quick park & hike in Zoar Valley - Team Broughton style. We had this location picked out for some time. The cache is located near the very top of Bare Bunns or Bare *** falls. This falls/cascade is 140' high with a 6' wide crest. It falls in seven steps, only the two lowest steps are viewable from the bottom, as the upper five are hidden in the cliff side. It is located on the Erie County side of Valentine Flats on the wooded terrace. Old Growth trees dawn this area, no doubt feed by the water flowing from this falls. PLEASE place it back EXACTLY as you found it. No part of it should be exposed - thank you! This is a swag free cache, it is all about the hike to an excellent location.

Park Hours & Information
This cache is located in the Zoar Valley Multiple Use Area. The MUA hours are sunrise to sunset and are strictly enforced by DEC Rangers.

The area going to the location in all directions (from the top or the bottom) IS very dangerous - be careful by the cliff edge, you slip you die! Use common sense and good judgment and all will be well.

The Zoar Valley Multiple Use Area is a NYS DEC controlled 2,923 acre area located in Erie and Cattaraugus Counties and which adjoins the Cattaraugus Creek in an area featuring a canyon with steep walls. This Multiple Use Area was purchased under the 1960 Multiple Use Bond Act (1,498 acres), with additional land (1,425 acres) deeded by Herbert F. Darling. Along with the canyon or gorge associated with Cattaraugus Creek the area features natural forests, small areas of plantations and an experimental chestnut plantation.

Tips & Suggestions
Make sure you bring plenty of water, some extra batteries and some common sense for the hike in. Grab your hiking stick and enjoy a great hike to a GREAT location. Bring your camera for sure, you will find several very scenic locations from all directions to the cache. Not giving a parking location, you figure it out! Want to cross a creek that moves pretty good most of the time and VERY fast at rainy times, attack it from the bottom with a 170 or so foot climb, going root to root, up a ridge (with some awesome views of the area as a reward on the way up). Want to hike the upper canyon wall, then that option is available at two parking locations. Good size hike, no matter the direction. This cache is not for the faint of heart! BE CAREFUL FRIENDS!
