Take route 28 North from Old Forge heading towards Inlet. You will see a sign on your right saying Eagle Bay, then a short way past that you will see a sign saying Inlet. Drive a very short distance farther and you will see a parking area on your left with a sign saying Black Bear Mountain/Rocky Mountain Trailhead. Park in the parking area and follow signs for Rocky Mountain Trailhead. One half mile climb to summit elevation 2225 ft. Easy to moderate climb.

................ *NEW location*................
Follow the trail markers till you come to the SECOND tree that lays across the path. (About 1/2 - 2/3 of the way up the mountain.) On the left end of the downed tree is a large boulder. Go the the right end of the tree and stand directly in line with the end. Look to your left and you will see another downed tree at the base of an upright dead tree. Go around to the back and there you will find the Rocky's Point letterbox under the leaves and tree. PLEASE rehide so that the box can NOT be seen.
Bring your own ink and pen. Walking stick is helpful. Approximately 30-40 minute hike.
-------------- **Clues for a Bonus Stamp - "That's a LOT of Bull" is in the cover of the logbook.

Continue up to the top of the mountain and ENJOY the view!

Don't forget to look for the letterbox "Wolf on the Rocky" while you are at the top.
