Heiberg Hike Traditional Cache
Breaking Away: We removed our 3 Heiberg nature trail caches today. The trails are not kept up any more, sadly to say. Sunset Solace is still in operation at Heiberg Forest, so make sure you check it out!

Cache is in SUNY-ESF’s Heiberg Memorial Forest. This is a day-use only area. Directions to the forest: Take I 81. Take the Tully exit and follow 80E/11S. Continue following 11S by turning right onto State Street. Turn 1st left onto Onondaga Street. Turn 1st Rt. onto Grove Street (immediately cross RR tracks). This street is a long, curvy street that goes uphill. Follow it to about 300 feet past the top of the hill. Turn Right onto Maple Ridge. You are now entering Heiberg Forest.
Please Read: We have been given permission to hide this cache. It is with the understanding that it is on ESF property, where ongoing environmental research is being done. We have been asked to please be careful of all plant and animal life in this area. DO NOT TAKE OR MOVE ANYTHING Some studies may be conducted in this forest, and the area must stay as natural as possible. Please do not remove anything in the area, as some things that may not look 'natural' may in fact be part of an experiment. Likewise, when you find the cache, please place it back just as you found it.
Park at the nature trail parking lot. At the end of the trail you will see a stand of Norway Spruce trees. This cache once was located by going into and through this area, because we love beautiful, shaded stands like this. However, we hid our original cache during the winter months and didn't realize what summer rains and sunshine could do to the area in which our cache was hidden! Now you can follow the path which will take you very close to the cache, so you can stay on the trail until you are about 20-30 feet from the cache. Enjoy!
