PINO TRAIL CACHE is located in the Pino Canyon East of Albuquerque,
NM. This cache is hidden below a rock with a view. The elevation is
just above 7,200 ft.
Be sure to take parking money as this cache hunt starts within
Elena Gallegos Picnic/Park Area. Park at the Pino Trail Head (140)
(Coordinates: N35 09.796 W106 26.205) and walk east on 140 for
approximately 1 hour. When you reach N35 10.089 W106 26.399 you
will find a fork in the trail, turn northwesterly towards the head
of a gully cut that flows west at N35 10.096 W106 26.408. Walk west
down the gully cut about 5 minutes until you are east of a campfire
pit at N35 10.095 W106 26.494. Walk west approximately 100 ft out
of the gully cut where you will find the fire pit. Continue west
down the ridge towards the cache. (Best to head slightly west first
then north to the cache) Heading directly toward that cache will
force you through dense bushes.
The first hour of the hike is a steady climb beginning at 6,500
ft and ending at just above 7,200 ft elevation. The trail is good
and well marked. After turning north at the fork the trail is
slightly less visible, but easily followed. The turn west down the
gully makes this last portion of the cache an off-trail cache. Be
cautious in the gully cut and watch your footing. There is an old
trail south of the gully cut that will get you to the fire pit, but
will bring you in on the south. Once past the fire pit the trails
disappear making your last 300 ft to the cache a challenge. The
grade from the fire pit to the cache is moderate (no all fours
needed).
