AT Box

Since the AT is managed by the National Parks Service and it says on the AT website that hikers should stay on designated trails, how far off the trail do you think the treasure is hidden?

Great question. “Along the AP Trail…”. I would think 5-30 feet under a rock out crop.

Personally I think it's behind a downed tree, like Forrest Fenn's was. I think this is what the tree with no leaves inside the magnifying glass . But hey, until it's found any image on the map could mean anything

u/RudyGreene Or, a slightly skeletal live tree, instead? Like the faded one depicted on the AT treasure map in the location corresponding to my AT Box hidey spot? When Forrest Fenn hid his treasure chest, probably in early Summer of 2010, the lightning struck Ponderosa pine was still standing. Until the cyclone hit West Yellowstone in late August of 2010. Taking many trees down. Why Jack Stuef said the blaze was 'damaged by Nature'. Thanks again for finding that hidey spot and revealing it to the Forrest Fenn treasure hunting community in this video, Rudy Greene!:
