Medium hike (1km-10km) 
Above the falls, above the road, and on the very top (8309 ft). Need a place to run up to the top of and take a picture of a bunch of antenna's? This is it.
I went straight up from the parking lot to get there, and then saw the trail up top. Park in "Four Johns" parking lot.

Still had a little time to kill before the Let's Go For A Hike 15 event started, so hiked up the hill from Gold Camp Road to this cache. Tough climb! Quick find. Signed log and replaced container as found. Thanks for the cache.

Headed back down from visiting St. Mary’s Falls and rather than trying to crest it (a little snow and not sure on things) decided to head down. Along the path I decided to hop the stream and do the climb up and see Helen’s bald spot; nice bald spot! Almost compares with mine! I’m just glad Muggle Mimi likes mine . Cache took a few minutes to find with the warble; appreciate the placement!

Still in perfect shape two years and two days on... I enjoyed a great hike now that there's some sun after a couple yucky days, & left a couple neat TB's.

We were hiking up St Mary's falls. Reading previous logs I decided to attempt this one from the trail. Not too bad, only 1/4 mile up a scree slope! However compared to another one I did later this one certainly was a walk in the park. Sl, thanks!
