Geocache Description:

Here's a cache in a "different" area of Silver Falls. Past caches have been placed along the main trails around the falls. This one in placed in the center of the Perimeter Trail. In addition, your dogs are welcome along this trail.

The hike to the cache area is 6 - 7 miles round trip from the North Falls. Just over three miles each way. The North Falls is where you will park and get to the Perimeter Trailhead.

This hike is moderate; however, it has some steep areas and might be considered near-difficult in the winter months when portions of the dirt trail flood - bring those waterproof hikers.

The cache is hidden at a trail crossing - where the Parimeter Trail meets the Racken Ridge Trail and a fire road. See Silver Falls map.

Once you reach the crossing, the cache is behind the big Douglas Fir directly opposite the trail map sign. This is a gimme, as we wouldn't want anyone thrashing around off the trail. You're looking for an ammo can. I have also supplied a small hint if you still have trouble.

I think you will enjoy the natural beauty of this hike, especially of you have never explored this part of Silver Falls.
