This is a very pretty part of the park. Though there is a
considerable elevation gain, the switchbacks and long slow grades
make this trail quite enjoyable.
UPDATE (4/3/11): Did a maintenance run to check on
the caches. They are all still where we left them and are all still
in great shape and swagged up. I have updated the hints so adjust
your info accordingly. Happy
caching!
KANSAS?
You're not in Kansas anymore.....you are in the lovely Forest of
Nisene Marks State Park!!

The Wizard of Oz was released in 1939 and is one of the most
beloved films of all time. in recognition of its 70th anniversary,
ECP and DZ decided to put out a series of 10 Oz-themed caches in
Nisene Marks. Come on out and follow the yellow brick road,
remember that there is no place like home or discover that
somewhere over the rainbow, the dreams that you dare to
dream~~really do come true!!
Getting
There
These caches were put out as part of a suggested loop in Nisene
Marks. The trail starts at the West Ridge Trail parking area (see
waypoint). From there take the West Ridge Trail up to the ridge. Go
past the Connection trail until you get to the Big Stump Gap trail,
take this to the Hoffman Historic Site. Continue on down,
connecting into the Loma Prieta Grade Trail which will take you to
Aptos Creek Fire Road and back to the West Ridge Trail
parking.
