It is a beautiful 3 mile hike with woods all around.The cache is located at 9,991 feet elevation.
Stay on browns creek trail the whole way until you get to falls the cache is located ontop of a enourmous boulder that is on the right side of the falls. It is a regular plastic container but inside there is a tape player a sunglass case alot of plastic dinosaurs a flower pen pool games and more.Hope you have fun.

Given this cache has not been found in nearly two years, as well as the large crowds who visit the nearby falls, we were not optimistic about finding this one. Finance Guy searched a 50' radius around where the coodinates pointed us without any luck. There are a lot of dead trees and rocks, but one dead tree in particular seemed like the most logical spot where the cache may have once been. I had a replacement container (pill bottle) that I hid in a location consistent with the hint and located within 10' of the posted coordinates. It is under an unnatural pile of smaller rocks. Spoiler photo posted in our log entry.

On our return hike, we must have passed 75 people coming up the trail. A very popular hike today. The water levels are running strong with the heavy snow melt. Many thanks.

May 28. Looked and looked but could not find it. Not a good signal from phone. Should have brought my better GPS.

The hike this year was great but seemed a bit longer. Maybe another year older? Looked where we found it last year but it was MIA. Muggers or did it move?

A bit treacherous to get up on the boulder as well as getting down but worth it!

Took some climbing and my phone had no signal but I managed to stumble across this one. Could use some maintenance, the container isn't leak proof anymore. TFTC
