Near the McDonald house at the northeast end of the park. There
appears to be a new trail being cleared near here and a beautiful
rock face perfect for a backdrop for pictures.
This is a challenging find with a moderate hike of around a
quarter of a mile. The terrain has varying elevations as you are
walking into a natural rain runoff that has cut a valley into the
side of the mountain. This is a dangerous place during and after a
rainfall, so check your forecast before attempting.
The beauty of a humid mountain forest is all around once you
make your way in along the faint animal trail towards your
destination. You will see many of the endangered hemlock trees as
you pass through. This is one place you don't have to worry about
thorn bushes, just holly bushes and trees and the occasional
monster spider web. (Think Indiana Jones running out of the
cave.)
I wouldn't advise bringing young hikers under 10 years old to
try this one because of the potential for falling injuries. Bring a
hiking stick and good trail shoes. The container is larger than a
small and can fit TBs easily. Due to tree cover, sat reception may
be jumpy so the following is your only hint: It can be found under
a fallen tree as wide as your thigh just north of the creek. Happy
Caching.
