The hike up Towsley Canyon to the cache is very kid friendly. While at the cache, be sure to check out "Gateway Cave", about 60 feet south. Just beyond the cache, kids and adults will all enjoy the dramatic walk through the narrow well shaded Towsley Canyon Corridor.Just past the corridor or "Narrows", the trail becomes steeper and a series of well maintained switchbacks zigzag their way up to the top of the southeast canyon wall. From there, the trail skirts the ridgeline, passing by several absolutely gorgeous vista points with sweeping views in every direction, before making a thrilling decent into scenic Wiley Canyon and eventually emerging at the Wiley Canyon trailhead, N 34° 21.426 W 118° 33.544.
I have hidden a camo'd ammo can within a few yards of the trail. There is a 3.0 direct approach to the cache, however a more kid friendly 2.0 approach can be found close by.
This cache has been stocked with a logbook, pen, pencil and sharpener plus many nifty trade items geared toward kids of all ages. Due to weak gps reception in the area, I have provided a "spoiler" photo.
Many other caches are hidden along the Towsley/Wiley Canyon Loop Trail.
Always use caution when reaching into dark places.
Good luck & Happy caching!
