So you've been considering my geotrail (Historic Glen Haven GeoTrail) and want to pick up another local geocoin, but a couple of those caches sure do look a long way off. Last year, I decided to help some of you get started. I led a hike up to the old sawmill on Miller Fork Creek, and despite a wet start, we had a good time once the sun came out.

This time we're heading up nearby Triangle Mountain. While the mountain itself doesn't contain any artifacts, it offers a spectacular view of Glen Haven. The rock formation at the top is a well-known local landmark: North Rock (so named because it's north of the town).

The event will be from 9:00 - 9:30 at the summit. How you get there is up to you, but if you'd like to join me, I will be at the parking coords at 7:30 am. It's typically only an hour-long hike up to the top, but the first half is quite steep, so I'm leaving room for how out-of-shape we all are after the lockdown. You can also bring Fido, if you like, but there's likely to be cheatgrass.

Put on your hiking boots, relearn how to use a real GPS (no cell service in Glen Haven), and come for some lovely views from the top. We'll take it slow and when we get back down, you'll have another code on the geotrail!

Not only our first geoevent since Covid-19, but our first outing for fun. The climb up and down was tough and a good one to start getting into shape for the summer hikes. We enjoyed visiting with the other geocachers and doggies. Thanks, PathPacer for hosting the event.

Finally! An Event! Took some work to get to but it was a very enjoyable time and had wonderful views. My legs and lungs certainly got its workout!!

Whew, that was a climb. We started early enough that it wasn't too hot though, and the views from the top were very nice. It was great meeting up with some cachers I haven't seen in a while. Thanks for coming!

Great to see everyone! It took FOREVER for this out of shape Cacher to get up there but I made it!

We always enjoy visiting with other geocachers. The stories and adventures shared inspire us to go find more caches. Thank you Path Pacer for organizing and hosting this event.

I’m fairly sure I can make this one! Excited to meet some cachers I have not met before. I’ll be huffing and puffing for sure but it will be good training for me climbing Grays and Torrey’s next month.

Colin and I will be there. Along with Elwood - the joy of a dog with short hair!
We will be at the parking spot for 7:30 to hike up with you.

We’ve been wanting to work on your geo trail so this will be great! Two of us will be there.
