Every January some hardy cross country runners come to Monte Sano for a 31 mile run known as The Mountain Mist Run. You can watch the race from various vantage points around the mountain. This year we watched from beside the Natural Well, an interesting geological feature in Monte Sano State Park. The Arrowhead Trail is accessed from the Trough Springs Trail head parking lot on Monte Sano Blvd. Due to a massive washout on the trail, you have to start out on the Arrowhead Trail. Signs will point you to the Natural Well. There is a stone block structure just before the well. After checking out the well ( you should pick up a rock on your way to toss in the well) go back up the trail 7 paces(14 steps) from the stone structure. The box is nestled between two of the bigger boulders on the right.

Note: You won't need to hike the whole of the Arrowhead Trail to go to the Natural Well.

Hike length: 2-3 miles
