I recently discovered Elysian Park and wanted to share some of the trails I've found.
It is a busy place on the weekend, requiring discretion during the hunt. If you can get here during the week, so much the better. Of course, if you come during rainy weather, you will almost have the place to yourself. However, then there is the added safety issues that come with the rain, ie: Slippery trails and land slides. Please be mindful of the conditions. After heavy rains, some sections of trail may be blocked off for safety.
This is a popular dog walking area and even though there is a leash ordinance, most are off leash.
I've spotted woodpeckers and hawks in the park.
There are several places to park, one of which is a lot at N34 05.143, W118 14.752

While exploring the trails, I noticed the dichotomy of this spot. Beautiful green slopes and trees pleasure the eyes, while the roar of the freeway assaults the ears.
This section of trail is less frequently traveled, but don't count on hunting in private. Muggles and their dogs can appear on the trail below at a moment's notice.
The cache is a camo'd plastic box.

I rated this a 2 terrain because the last part is a bit steep and uneven.
These Elysian Park caches are my first caches. I welcome input regarding d/t rating and placement.

September 4 by benh57 (4068 found) #3634: Along with Not Jade, this cache has been on my list for about 2 years, but never made it to exactly this spot in the park. It's not really a park and grab, but is a nice little walk. Did see a couple of muggles pass by as i approached from above. Got a good pic of the Station Fire from the trail above the cache. Will attach later. Now that's nature in action. (even if prompted by a human) Dropped a TB. Only 2 caches left in Elysian Park now, M and Geo-Stationary. Will get em soon! [view this log]
