As we continue the WWRiver Series, you will be looking for a green ammo box hidden along the South Fork of the Walla Walla River.
The cache is located about ¾ of a mile from the trailhead, on the South Fork Trail. This is one of the premier hiking trails in our area---as well as being one of the most popular. One reason is that it is located only about 35 minutes from Walla Walla, Washington or 20 minutes from Milton-Freewater, Oregon. The trail is open to hikers, horses, mountain bikes, and motorcycles. The trail is about 19 miles in length---if you travel all the way up to Deduct Springs, high in the Blue Mountains. The river is clean and beautiful, as are the surrounding hills and mountains. Located at the trailhead is plenty of parking, a vault toilet, and primitive picnicking spots. The South Fork Trail begins on BLM land, then is Umatilla National Forrest about 3 miles up the trail.
Now, don't forget to seek my other cache here on the South Fork....."WWRiver Crossing" GCPGNG.

THE WALLA WALLA RIVER
The Walla Walla River is an interstate river that originates in the Blue Mountains of eastern Oregon. It then runs north into Washington State and west to the Columbia River. This river is approximately 80 miles long. It originates at an elevation near 5800 feet, and at its confluence with the Columbia River, it’s elevation is approximately 330 feet above sea level. The Walla Walla River is spawning habitat for both bull trout and steelhead. The water is also widely used in the summer for crop irrigation. The name “Walla Walla” comes from the Native Americans who lived in the valley. It’s meaning is “many waters” or “small, rapid steams”.
