Geocache Description:

One of the most picturesque and ecologically interesting places you can find in Central Pennsylvania.
.

Cache is located at the Audubon Hawk Watch At Waggoner’s Gap. The main site sits on the spine of the mountain 75 yards east of the highway. This site is essentially a rock pile with steep descents on both sides. This enables watchers to see both sides of the ridge from one spot. Be sure to wear decent hiking shoes as the ascent is very rocky. Once there, a picnic would probably be very nice.

Depending upon the time of day or the time of year, birders from the area might be found counting the number of raptors, collecting and compiling the data, and having it reported on their website.Click Here to visit their official website and find out more about how to spot, count, and report on the different types of raptors that frequent this area. But aside from the importance for birders, it may be one of the few spots where one can view most of the Cumberland Valley as well as a nice portion of farmland across Perry County.

To find the cache, follow the "orange" birds up the path until you get to the overlook. Enjoy the views and then begin looking for the cache soon after you begin your descent. Cache is a decon container.
