First Box: Start hiking up the Mount Rose Summit Trail. When you get your first spectacar view of Lake Tahoe over the mountains, look right for a smallish pile of large boulders dotted by black moss to the right of the trail. When you locate the pile of boulders walk up to them and there is a cave with a hollow on the right of the front face of the boulders. Reach in to the left and pull out what you are seeking.

Second Box: As you continue up the trail, you will pass a quadruple tree in the middle of the trail. Continue on. You will pass two elbow trees that jut out onto the trail at a right angle. In a little way, you will see two colossal twin giant trees. On the backside of the trees, you will find what you are seeking between the twins and beneath their heart.

Third Box: Continue your hike to the waterfall and take a left on the Tahoe Rim Trail. At the first trail marker posted on a tree, look right to see a dead stump. Hike up past the stump, and directly ahead you will see a clump of trees. This prize is located at the base of the trees to the right. This is the only one in the series containing a hitchhiker stamp for you to take and drop off in another letterbox. After you find the stamp, continue up the Mount Rose Summit Trail.

Fourth Box: Summit Mount Rose. After enjoying your well-deserved rest at the first peak, hike toward the second peak. Before you get there, look right to see a group of boulders sitting near the cliff edge. You have just enough room to sneak around the group of boulders and grab the prize. Look carefully, for there is an ammo box that may fool you. It is a geocache, not the letterbox.
