Geocache Description:

Cache the South end of Independence Lake as well!

A trail for all ages. Cache name is the ages of all in our group when hiding this. Beautiful trail that needs another cache to entice you hearty souls. See trail info for Independence Lake.

Requires NW Forest Pass at TH. Fantastic hike to the top with all the main Pacific NW attractions like bugs, critters, trees, rocks, trails, vistas, trains, fire lookout tower, etc. We placed this cache just after one of the least challenging stretches of the trail to give you a short break. Run of the mill, average round tupperware perfect for the woods. Not much chance of finding this after the snow falls. I'd also recommend using this area as a place to cache water for your downhill hike.

While this is a hike for all ages it is challenging and it can get dark, wet and cold quickly. Potentially lots of mosquitoes. Be prepared! For the FTF is a highly coveted opportunity to place some swag, or a pen. (We had nothing with us, but were inspired to leave this here. More caches at the lake=more cachers at the lake!)
