Bear box 'CG04'
(Day Use Lot, Road's End)

Detail Map: (scroll down for directions, waypoints, and area map)

CG04 is two large boxes, at about 5000 feet, in the Cedar Grove Area region.
Note: As of 2004, the rangers say the southern parking loop (near the river) is for day use only. Backpackers must park in the northern loop and must have a car pass (issued with your permit). There were no signs to indicate this, and no obvious enforcement, but watch out!
Directions from Steve Eckert, with GPS waypoint, July 2004:
Two large boxes on the side of the southern parking loop away from the river, about 50 yards west of the permit kiosk, at Road's End.

Find waypoint CG04 in region waypoints or all waypoints file.
