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.
