Jones Gap State Park offers visitors the unforgettable peace and repose of a deep mountain cove. The park joins together with Caesars Head via 11,000 acres of pristine mountain woodlands, in what is known as the Mountain Bridge Wilderness Area. The Jones Gap hiking trails allow hikers to traverse between the two parks, as well as connect to a portion of the Foothills Trail.
The state’s first designated scenic river, the Middle Saluda River, runs through Jones Gap and offers some of the best trout fishing in South Carolina as well as a living lab for the park’s hand-on ecology learning center.
This cache is part of the South Carolina State Park Service Geocache Challenge. There are 4 regions within the challenge, with different numbers of geocache locations in each region. In each posted cache, there is a hint, a number that will be used in the formula given in the description for the regional mystery cache, leading you to the final cache in each region, 4 in total. And in that final mystery cache in each region is also a hint, a number that will be used in the formula given in the description for the “Finale cache”, providing the coordinates to reach the final cache, located at Sesquicentennial State Park which entitles the first 5 finders to a special reward. But to do this, you will have to have traveled to all 47 parks, and have found all of the caches! Good luck and most of all, have fun!
