PLEASE NOTE: I had originally planned on placing this letterbox where you would be able to see Cucumber Falls. However, when I got there I found there were so many people, it would be impossible to hide (or find) the box without attracting attention. So…the box was planted near the falls in a more secluded location, but unfortunately “THE VIEW IS (really not so) GREAT UP HERE”.

The box is located near Cucumber Falls in Ohiopyle State Park, Ohiopyle PA.
After visiting Cucumber Falls, walk over the steel bridge that goes over the top of the falls. At the end of the bridge, turn right. Walk a short distance up the hill and you will see a trail that bears off to the right. Go on that trail and count 67 steps to a tree that grows almost in the middle of the trail (I have a small stride, so it may take fewer steps for you). Look to the left and you will see a large tree with 5 trunks—one of the trunks has no bark. Stand behind the tree with your back to it. Look to your right at approx. 45 degrees and you will see a long moss covered rock near a mountain laurel bush. Look at the right end of rock, under a suspicious pile of branches, for the letterbox. Please remember to hide the box well!
