The cache: Near the bridge is a rock pile along the river. Walk to the bottom of the rock pile. Go towards the right past a tree to the small rock pile. Cache is in a cubby hole in the rocks.
2016 was the 100th anniversary of the National Park Service, and to celebrate, Visit Rainier and WSGA hosted the Visit Rainier Centennial GeoTour - 100 caches placed in and around Mount Rainier National Park. The geocaches highlighted the rich history, scenic wonders, quaint communities, and hidden gems of the Rainier region. Participants received geocoin and pathtag prizes for finding all the caches.
