This cache sits at the end of the Limber Pine Trail. A short, fairly level loop, this is a perfect short hike for young families. There are 12 numbered education stations, which start on the right side and end on the left side. The trail climbs several hundred feet in the early going through a pine forest. Then it reaches an open, rocky area that provides views down into the Logan Canyon sinks area — one of the coldest places in the nation. A section of this trail is also reminiscent of the setting in the climax of the "Sound of Music" movie — kind of a Utah version of Switzerland.
The limber pine was at one time thought to be 2,500 years old and the world's oldest tree of this variety. It is now known that the limber pine is actually five different trees that grew together. The Clark's nutcracker, a local large, gray blackbird, buried limber pine seeds in the area to store them for winter and some grew together, creating today's marvel of tree engineering.
The cache sits in a great spot overlooking Bear Lake. I hope you enjoy this trail as much as our family.
