Geocache Description:

This cache is only accessible by walking on one of the two trails to Datun Peak.

This is my first cache and I plan to place caches on the 100 minor peaks of Taiwan. About the 100 minor peaks, please see (visit link)

Datun Mountain is the No. 7 of the 100 minor peaks. There are hundreds trails on the YangMing Mt. and two of them can lead you to Datun Peak. This trail is less popular but its view is as good as the other one. The entrance listed below leads you to the same trail.

If you are a good walker and have a half day plan on Datun Mt, you can try the entrance of this trail at
N25 11.017 E121 31.720
It is near the parking area by the Balaka Road. The trail is about 1km in length and 220 meters in elevation.

If you just want a little exercise and fresh air, you can drive on the road to the Datun peak and park at
N25 10.898 E121 31.437
The entrance of the trail is behind the platform. The trail is 700 meters in length and 100 meters elevation. It might take you a half hour to finish the trail by foot.

The cache is 13.7x13.7x10.5 cm and contains:
Taiwanese stamps
Mr. AREDIA clip
Bag with Shells key ring
Hello Kitty Magnetic 30 Years Bear

There is another cache, GCC435, at the end of this trail. You can do both if you go up on this trail.
