Begin at Chestnut Trail Head on Chestnut St in Williamstown MA. Follow the Chestnut Trail for approximately 1 mile where you will find a fork and a sign indicating; right hand trail to pine cobble, left hand trail to the Appalachian Trail. You are going to take the left hand trail. From this junction you need to follow the left hand trail 250 normal stride hiking steps until you reach a light colored bulging rock in the middle trail that resembles a turtle shell (Turtle stone). Because 250 steps is hard to count, an alternative is to count 9 blue trail blazes until you see a large 4 stemmed tree off the trail on your right. From this point, to the turtle stone is 75 normal stride hiking steps. You’re almost there when you find the bulging turtle stone in the middle of the trail.
From the turtle stone take a sharp right 90 degrees from the trail and go about 20 feet and stop. From here look for a stone that looks like a blade. The blade stone is about 8 feet long and sticking up from the ground about 1.5 feet. Look carefully because the blade is facing away from you and towards the rocky ledges.
This blade rock points exactly at the bear cave about 30 feet up the boulders. Don’t be fooled by caves to the left or right. The blade rock points exactly at the bear cave.
Carefully climb up the boulders and enter the bear cave.
On a shelf in the bear cave you will find a Glenfiddich tin container which is the bear cave letter box. Check out the hieroglyphics on the rocks in the bear cave. Please send us a post care from the letterbox.
