Geocache Description:

The difficulty and terrain ratings depend on how you approach the cache, so I stuck them right in the middle. It might be easier or harder, depending on how you decide to get to the cache.

This cache is located along the John Muir trail. There are several ways to get to it. The best, easiest, and most scenic is to walk the trail from the Childers Creek trail head. But it is 3 miles to the cache from there.

Another option is to find the nearby cache Muir's Vista first. While walking to and from it you might notice another way to the cache. However, if you decided to go this way be forwarned that there is much along the path that is not so pretty, and there are many obsticles and somewhat difficult terrain. At times the terrain can be dangerous if you decide on this path, so be careful. The shortest path is not always the easist.

And you can come up or down the Hiwassee river itself if you so choose. Have fun and enjoy this beautiful place however you go!

Also, be warned that your GPS signals will do weird things in this gorge. You may have to back up a couple hundred feet and walk the path several times to figure out the area where the cache is hid.
