Wadsworth Big falls are down hill from the parking area walking towards the right. You should be able to hear them.
Go to the lookout over the falls, look east toward four Evergreen trees on the opposite side of the falls. This is where you want to go. Head back to the street and turn left toward the railroad tracks. Now walk along the left side of the tracks. Note: never ever walk on railroad tracks, never. Now after the third telephone pole you will notice a trail going up the bank on the left. Follow this trail until you are standing on a lookout behind those four Evergreen trees. Twelve paces to the east is a cut down tree near its stump. The box is between the logs.
