Geocache Description:

This cache is located in the picturesque community of Cow Head.  While here, be sure to spend a day at Shallow Bay Beach, attend the Gros Morne Theatre Festival, and even eat a moose burger!  In addition to the hike required for this cache, why not stay on the head and explore the wharf and little fishing village.


To access this cache, you will need to do the Lighthouse Trail in Cow Head.  When you cross the beautiful sandbar to get access this trail, you are on what locals call The Head.  The coordinates may suggest starting the trail from the lower entrance.  I like to begin right at the amphitheatre.  Wherever you start, be sure to complete the entire loop.  The scenery is breathtaking.  While on the trail, you will need to veer off on another trail called Point of the Head Trail. There is a marked sign.  If you start at the amphitheatre, it is at the bottom of the stairs just after the lighthouse.  If you start at the lower entrance and you reach the lighthouse, you have gone too far.  This enchanted-forest type of trail through the tuckamores is simply magical.

The cache is along this trail near a bench if you would like to sit and take a break. It is a large pill bottle with a logbook, pencil and small trading items.  There is an iron-on Canada flag for the First to Find!   Please be sure to continue to the end of the trail. You will emerge on a glorious beach of large boulders and a grassy area.  You will want to allow yourself some time to enjoy and explore.
