Difficulty: Easy
Distance to Letterbox: 1 mile
You can do individual or multiple boxes as one hike. These were carved for Colorado, but was not able to place, so Memorial Park will be their home. Memorial park is under a lot of construction, and trails are a little strange right now. Hopefully once construction is done these still make sense.
Directions:
From I-610, take the Woodway exit and go east on Woodway. Pass the first light and turn right at the second light. Swing right and park near trailhead on left by end of baseball fields.
To the Letterbox:
Walk to trailhead sign by end of ballfield and edge of small parking area. Walk trail along side of last ballfield. You will pass a purple post to your left about mid field. Pass blue post to right with purple post to left. At trail junction, go right on Purple trail (post). Pass another purple post near island in trail. You will reach a triangle trail junction soon. Go straight on Purple trail until major junction of multiple trails. Take the trail farthest to the right. After going a few steps you will see a Blue trail post to your right. Go 90 steps to white sign on your left and blue pole to the right. Continue on to another Blue pole on the left. Then on to another Blue pole on left at a curve (with view of creek). Continue on for 73 more steps to a large oak tree on left edge of trail. Continue on passing a wooden bridge, and reach a 2nd wood bridge. Continue on, counting 140 steps to an oak tree on right edge of trail. Continue on a ways until junction with Red Trail. If going to Welcome to the Top box do it first, then return to this Junction. Go left on Red Trail for 65 steps to white posts on left. Go 8 more steps, then right off trail for 8 steps to big tree. Box at back base of that tree.
Return the way you came....or you will get lost like I did.
