This is a beautiful hike starting at the Wright's Lake area. You will pass over 10 ponds and lakes, going as far as Twin Lakes and Island Lake. From Highway 50, enter the Wright's Lake area and park in designated areas.
Unbelievable Beauty!

This hike is about 3 miles each way as the crow flies. There is no significant climbing required, but you will gain 1000 feet of altitude from Wright's Lake. Prepare for 4 miles walking each way. Altitude at the cache site is 8208 feet. Bring plenty of water and food. Camping requires a permit.
Kolly Wobbels and Tahoe (Woof!) found the wind to have a high chill factor. Kolly Wobbels had to bundle up.
More little lakes and ponds will appear and some islands will disappear when the Spring runoff occurs.

Perched in an awkward position to take a photo, the wind blew me over. I took a pretty good spill onto the rocks.
As you approach the cave, it reminds readers of the book The Clan of The Cave Bear.
I removed this purple lidded cache and changed this geoadventure into a virtual because the rangers don't allow physical geocaches in this wilderness.(Click Photo to Enlarge.)
TO CLAIM THIS NAVICACHE FIND:
Log a photo of you and/or your gps machine in front of the small cave....OR.....Send an EMAIL to me stating which compass direction the mouth of the cave in located and how many lakes you can see from the cave entrance. Don't post the answers on the weblog.
