Geocache Description:

This cache is located off Rt. 22 between Mill Creek and Mt. Union. As of 4/09/2009 we placed the cache back in it's original spot. Someone had moved it in Sept. There is a large pull-off on the same side of the road as Thousand Steps. The path is located at the end of the pull-off. There is a sign that says "Thousand Steps".

This is the equivalent of a one-hour "Stairmaster", if you take a few short breaks along the way. You will possibly want a walking stick for this trek. Also, water and a high-energy snack would be good.

The cache is in a black container with a screw-top lid. There are many goodies inside. Please don't forget your camera on this hike because there are many great views. We hope you enjoy this one! It is a steep trail that tires you out, but it's worth it. Please don't be discouraged with the steps, take lots of little breaks along the way and you will make it. GOOD LUCK!!

Caution: Since this is a rocky area you may encounter a snake once in a while. We have been there many times and have seen 1 rattlesnake. Be careful!
