Geocache Description:

TA Trail Bison is a black bison hidden along the Turnagain Arm Trail between the McHugh Creek and Rainbow Trailheads. The closest access would be from the Sunshine parking area.

If you are headed to find only this cache, I would park in the Sunshine parking area and access the Turnagain Arm Trail via the trail from Sunshine. If you are seeking this one in winter time be careful, this trail can be a bit 'exciting'!!! Once you reach the Turnagain Arm Trail head east toward Rainbow for about a tenth of a mile.

I was in the area to do a bit of cache maintenance and wasn't really planning on placing any caches today. I noticed there was 'room' for another so thought what the heck!!! Without 'adult supervision', I could have some devious fun!!! I was about to hide one where some of you have told me, "NO, ABSOLUTELY NOT!" when I spied the cache location!!! Lucky You!!!

Caching along the Turnagain Arm Trail can be challenging due to less than perfect gps reception. Those of you who have spent some time along this trail know what I mean! The coordinates for this cache, were taken with two different Garmin GPS' and averaged for 15 minutes. That being said, when you find yourself near GZ let it 'settle' and you will find the cache!

Come visit this cache and the others in the area. There are now more than 20 caches very near the Turnagain Arm Trail between the McHugh Creek and Rainbow Trailheads. You will not be disappointed with the views and the trail!!

This cache is placed under Chugach State Park Permit #11-007.
