Geocache Description:

A view cache overlooking Lake Chelan and the Entiat Valley. The hike up is approx one and quarter to one and a half miles with a elevation gain of approx 1150 feet. Container is a small Lock n'Lock.

Take a dirt road climb and then hike to incredible views of Lake Chelan and the Entiat Valley.

Stormy Mountain is the highest of the nearby surrounding mountain tops with an elevation of 7198 feet. Check out the foundation of a fire lookout that was built in 1919 and the nearby benchmark and survey marker.

This cache is approachable from either Lake Chelan or the Entiat Valley. From The Entiat River Rd you want to take the Mud Creek Rd or Potato Creek Rd up to Rd 8410. There are other roads winding over the hilltops so beware. From the Lake Chelan side you will take the Shady Pass Rd to the Snowberry Campground turnoff. From there you will pass the campground and wind your way up to the gate past Windy Camp. Follow the trailhead from there. No pass is required at this trailhead. The sign says it is one mile but this is as the crow flies. The trail will take you nearly another half mile. I made this trek in my Mazda sedan but I would recommend a high clearance vehicle. ENJOY!
