Dear Geocachers,
This is to inform you that the Olympic Peninsula GeoTour is coming to an end.
The last day the caches will be available is January 1, 2022. As of 1/2/22 our GeoTour will be a thing of the past. Thank you to everyone who has made this so much fun over the years.
If you have started a Passport, but have not completed it, please send it to us by January 20, 2022 in its current state to:
OPVB PO Box 670 Port Angeles, WA 98362
As long as we have coins, we will honor incomplete passports. Again, thank you. Olympic Peninsula Tourism Commission
The Quinault River is a 69-mile long river originating deep in the Olympic Mountains in Olympic National Park. It flows southwest through the popular hiking paradise called "Enchanted Valley". A well maintained trail follows the East Fork of the Quinault from Graves Creek to Enchanted Valley Ranger Station through old growth rain forest. In early summer snow melt creates many waterfalls in the valley, giving it the name "Valley of a Thousand Waterfalls".
The Quinault River has been reaching new recorded lows in recent years, as it was fed by the Anderson Glacier which had melted away by 2011.
When visiting this cache, please respect the wonderful tree here. Don’t climb on it or in it, please. The landowners have been gracious to let us place the cache in this unique place. Parking can be off the road and to the side of the driveway. THANKS for keeping this special.
Happy Caching.
