Bike or hike along the West Fork of the San Gabriel River to the site of Cogswell Dam. The cache is hiding near the heliport.
Cogswell Dam is a rockfill dam for flood control and water conservation along the West Fork of the San Gabriel River. Constructed between 1932 and 1934, it stands 266 feet high and spans 585 feet, with commanding views of Mt. San Antonio to the east and Mt. Wilson to the west. It is reached via a scenic bike ride along the river from parking along Highway 39. The ride is mostly gently sloped, except for the last mile approaching the dam which is rather steep. The great views from the dam are a welcome reward for the climb.
Just before reaching the dam, you'll pass a helicopter landing pad on the right; this is where the cache will be found. It's not actually ON the helipad, but very close by. The container is a camoed nut jar with room for swag and TBs. Please rehide as you found it and please let me know of any maintenance issues. Enjoy!
