Geocache Description:


Walk around the park

While this multi-cache doesn't encompass the whole park, it does follow the trails and does take you on quite a long walk. The cache has 5 stages. Each stage is more than 1 mile ACF from the each of the other stages. Between the 1st and 2nd stage is the easiest between stages. From there the trails start to meander and go up and down hills. The full loop is probably 8 miles. Breaking it up by driving to parking lots, probably won't save you much in the hiking department. Walking straight through may well be the quickest route to finishing this cache. Good Luck!


Thanks to the NPS for the special permission to NoVAGO to place this cache. Permit available to view on request
