Geocache Description:

North Shore Trail Series Celebrates 20th Anniversary!!!
AS OF JULY, 2025

See North Shore Trailhead for information on getting to and parking at the trailhead.


Further down the trail from North Shore Trail #1 is this cache. For 10 years, it was a hexagon shaped metal container roughly 4" x 2". In July, 2015 I replaced it with a large ammo can as should be at a site like this. 10 years ago I didn't have these ammo cans. This ammo can disappeared in 2023 but has been replaced.

At the cache site you are overlooking an unnamed (probably dry) creek that will soon join Little Bear Creek. You will need about an hour to get this cache and get back to the campground unless you are going further down the trail.
