The New Growth Cache is located near Twin Lakes Reservoir by the beginnings of a new growth forest. The elevation is 9345 ft. The cache is kid friendly & the hike to the site is approx. 1/4 mile from the parking area along fairly flat elevation changes, however, accessing the cache now requires some scrambling over downed trees. The drive to the parking area is somewhat steep & requires a vehicle with good ground clearance.
You could also hike in 8/10 of a mile from the main road to the parking area & on to the cache. This area can also be accessed on foot via a longer, single track trail, from the Pingree Park campus (sorry, don't have the mileage).
There are incredible views of the Mummy Range from this cache and this is a beautiful place to spend a day, so pack a lunch and a fishing rod. Wildlife are plentiful at dawn and dusk. Fishing can be hit or miss, particularly in late summer when the water is very low, but it's a great place to try catching something. Be sure to read the site information card in the cache box (but leave it with the cache). The original contents were as follows:
- Checkers travel game
- Mech-Bots Bug Bot
- Deck of cards
- Geocaching "Euro-style" bumper sticker
- 3 Geocaching pencils
- Cool firefighter action figure
- 1 waterproof log book and 2 Geocaching pencils (log book
& these 2 pencils stay with the cache)
