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

    1. CG05 is one large box, at about 5000 feet, in the Cedar Grove Area region.

    2. Directions from Steve Eckert, with GPS waypoint, July 2004:
      One large box on the uphill side of the main horse trailer parking lot at Road's End. This is the lot just west of the Copper Creek trailhead (north loop, or backpacker parking), and to reach it you have to go all the way around the Road's End loop, turning right just before finishing the loop. (There is a west parking loop which is joined to this one, but THIS lot is the one which is directly accessed from the loop road.)

    3. Find waypoint CG05 in region waypoints or all waypoints file.
