Located off U.S. Forest Service Rt. 2020 in Tacoma with a very enjoyable and picturesque walk along Burns Creek.

Once you reach the upper bend, the gravel road must be abandoned and the old original road bed should be used. It is passable, but minor bushwhacking might be required in warmer weather.

Cache is a small container, suitable for smaller items and travel bugs.

Happy Caching!
