The Cube (aka Falling Block) is a natural rock formation that has several 90 degree faces to it making it look like a cube.  It is not man made, but you would think so when you first see it.  It has been on my Bucket List for years so I was determined to find it.

Unfortunately, it is not easy to find and I failed on this hike.  I failed to make a GPS pin so I had something to direct me.  As a result, I thought it was a different rock formation on top of a hill.  When I got to these rocks, I realized it was not it so I headed into the trees to where I thought it might be.  There was 3-5" of snow in the trees and thousands of blowdowns to contend with so I wandered around in hopes I would run into.  I never did.  I did not have internet access or a cell signal since it is very remote and none of my hiking apps had The Cube on the map, which is why I wandered around.

I had told my wife, who stayed behind in our truck, that I would be back by a certain time so I had to abort my search to get back on time.  I was so bummed I didn't find The Cube I was desparately hoping to find. :(

I should note that there is no trail and getting in the proximity of where The Cube is requires you to drive down an unpaved dirt road.  It was extremely muddy, so it definitely required a 4x4.  It might be doable in a AWD when the road is dry, but to be safe I'd recommend a 4WD.
