Cascadilla Glen Traditional Geocache

An ammo can in a beautiful location on the Cornell campus. This regular-sized cache invites you to the reopened Cascadilla Glen Trail, which connects downtown Ithaca with the Cornell campus along a gorge carved by Cascadilla Creek. Due to extremely dangerous winter conditions, the trail is typically closed from late November through mid April; any finds made when the trail is closed will be deleted.

The Cascadilla Glen Trail (closed since 2008) reopened in fall 2014. The trail is only a 1/2 mile long but treats visitors to several waterfalls and provides a stunning natural location tucked between downtown Ithaca and the Cornell campus. The trail has steep stone steps and can be slippery - please use caution.

To me, this area embodies the very essence of an Ithaca gorge and I have fond memories of finding an early (2001) cache along this trail - CacheCadilla: http://coord.info/GCC53. I wanted to place an additional regular-sized cache along this gem of a trail and found that there was just one perfect place. The only problem was that, at the time, there was another cache (a micro in a parking lot) that was too close. So my container overwintered in place, and this spring I found that not only had it survived the winter unscathed but that the other cache had been archived, thereby freeing the spot! So a traditional ammo can now awaits you at a very worthy destination.

You do not need to leave the trail to reach the cache. As it is a well-traveled area, please rehide completely. If the gates (see waypoints) are closed, the trail is off-limits for safety. The trail is closed sunset to sunrise, and also during the winter: any finds that violate gorge regulations will be deleted. See photo for all gorge regulations.
