The hike to this letter box is easy, about 1/2 mile of boulder hopping and creek crossings to the foot of the falls (dogs OK).   Note:  There is a requirement for an Adventure Pass but nobody checked us when we were there at mid week.
Directions:  From interstate 210 take the Lake Avenue exit north for approximately 3 miles.  Turn left (west) on Loma Alta Drive.  Drive about 1 mile to Chaney Trail at the flashing light .  Turn right on Chaney Trial and drive  1 1/2 miles (stay left at the fork) to Millard Campground, park in the parking lot, walk up the fire road past the outhouse and campground to the trail .  Work you way up the little canyon to the base of the falls and as you turn to leave the falls you will see 2 trees  (one with multi trunks).
.  In about 20 paces you will see another tree and then another skinnier tree in 20 paces.  Cross the creek and note the vertical red and white sign that says "no shortcutting".  Go to a tree with a large mass at the bottom approximately 16 paces north of the sign.  The tree has a large root that heads west down toward the creek.  Look under the root and under a rock hidden by moveable rocks for the letter box.  Be quick and careful as this area is very busy on weekends.
