To access Betsy Bell Park, take Greenville Avenue (US Route 11) in Staunton to Betsy Bell Road (across from Arby's and next to Burger King). At the end of the paved road there is a gravel road that climbs through the park. Drivers are advised that the road is narrow and steep with loose-packed gravel and some serious potholes. As of summer 2019, new signs have been added that state "No Cars with Low Ground Clearance". As always, it would be a challenge if you met a car moving in the opposite direction. You might want a 4WD vehicle or plan to hike up - which would make the terrain more like a 2.5. Please exercise caution.
This cache is a short trek from the parking area for the top overlook. The location is a natural nook - PLEASE COVER IT WELL.
While you're there, be sure to check out the view to the northeast from the platform at N38 8.218 W079 3.234. You can see the area around US 250 and I-81 with the mountains of Shenandoah National Park in the distance.
This cache is registered with the Staunton Department of Recreation and Parks. In this park there are a number of other geocaches and two letterboxes (www.letterboxing.org).
