Pisgah Summit Traditional Cache

At the edges of Huntington and Westhampton, MA is a sanctuary called the Stevens Property. A currently-unmapped trail to the summit of Mt. Pisgah explores diverse terrain. This trail will cross through the summit of Mount Pisgah, which has an approximate height of 1535 feet. Although there is no view and the container is not spectacular, will you take the time to remove yourself so far from society?

Streetside parking is available on Pisgah Road by GC4TRFM. There is also a small clearing that can serve as a parking lot.

Reference GC5VX2V for a description of the Mt. Pisgah Summit Trail and for waypoints that identify the outline of the trail.

You've reached the summit of Mt. Pisgah! There is no vista, but elevation readings and topographic maps show that this is the top of one of several hills in Westhampton. You will be looking for a small black tube that's slightly larger than a bison tube. Please BYOP! The trail does continue to Spruce Hill Road where you can loop around some woods roads to return to Pisgah Road, but this is the end of the trail of placed geocaches.

On my first hike of the Stevens Property I only had 3 geocache containers on me, not expecting to be on a multi-mile sidequest where extra caches could fill this unmapped trail! I checked my geocaching app's map to see a mountain peak icon, which brought me to research the name of the mountain. I did an elevation reading to compare to what Google spat out at me and it matched very closely; this was the summit of Mt. Pisgah! I now want to explore the summits of all of the other hills!

Good Luck! Happy Caching!
