Geocache Description:

This cache is placed on The Heritage Trail runs from Dubuque to Dyersville in Dubuque County. The Heritage Trail is another one of Iowa's first-rate rail trails, making its way through the rugged, forested bluff country of the Mississippi River valley from Dubuque on into the prairie ridges to the west. This 26-mile packed-dirt, gravel, and crushed-limestone trail is one of the most popular in Iowa.

****There is a trail fee please pay it, its cheap for a day of fun and it helps maintain this wonderful trail.****
