Geocache Description:

Quarry Hill Park in Rochester, MN

This cache is placed as a replacement and remembrance cache for tricolor and his GCC872: Quarry Hill cache.

Here is the description from his listing (which I think still applies):

A steep but interesting hike up to the old quarry site from which this park takes its name. Hiking & history abound, so come prepared for an afternoon out - though the cache find hopefully wont take that long. Park on the West side near the playground & picnic area, or on the East side near the Quarry Hill Nature Center.

Views of the Rochester skyline from these bluffs - especially at sunset - are some of the best around.


Now, my addition to this cache:
You will find this cache very close to the original cache location…please be very aware of your surroundings when seeking this cache…trails are mixed and can be close to the edge at times…cache is approximately 50ft off the trail, so be aware of regular park visitors as well. The cache is a 6” x 6” Lock-n-Lock…hidden in a classic woodland way!!!

Notes on Difficulty & Terrain:
Difficulty: 2-Should be able to find this one without too much work...your biggest challenge may be signal strenght among the foilage!!!
Terrain: Depending on your choice of starting locations...the hill may be a little more then a hill...but the extensive and twisting trail system may also add to the terrain and distance you encounter.
