This cache is meant to be found by mountain bike, hike, or horse. The Weiser River Trail is closed to motorized vehicles. From the parking spot north of Tamarack, it is 3.5 miles to the cache. It took us 2 hours to bike down and back. Cache is in a black ammo box. A good map and discription of parking area can be found at: http://www.weiserrivertrail.org/rubicon.htm
Friends of the Weiser River Trail (FWRT) is a private, non-profit, organization formed to convert the old Pacific and Idaho Northern (PIN) railroad grade from Weiser, Idaho, to Rubicon (near New Meadows, ID) into a trail for public recreation. The 84-mile long trail passes through the towns of Midvale, Cambridge, and Council. The entire right-of-way was deeded to Friends of the Weiser River Trail in August, 1997, by the Union Pacific Railroad under the railbanking law.
The trail includes many miles of riparian habitat, an additional 1,400 acres of wildlife habitat, and will provide access to 16,000 acres of BLM and State of Idaho Lands currently inaccessible to the public. Wildlife often seen along the trail include deer, elk, heron, and wild turkey. The setting in the lower (southern) part of the canyon is rolling hills and open canyons topped with black lava cliffs, while the upper (northern) portion is forested.
