Take a short walk from the Big Meadows picnic area onto the Dripping Rock trail and explore along the creek for this geocache. Be prepared to explore off-trail!
Putting on the GeoTrail every year takes a lot of work, and we couldn't do it without the help from the geocaching community. Thanks to Pepperznitro & Pathwayz for helping us look after this cache!
Look around you - do you see any piles of branches and sticks? These are what we call ‘brush piles’ and they were created by our amazing volunteer invasive team! Invasive shrubs like honeysuckle once dominated this wooded habitat, shading out all other native species. Thanks to the work of our invasive crew, over 300 acres of invasive plants have been cleared from the park over the last five years, allowing room for native plants to grow.
