Sycamore Cycling Stash Series # 10: At the top of the switchbacks
on the Hidden Pond Trail, about 1.2 miles from the top. You will
have a spectacular view of the Ranch Center meadow below and Boney
Mtn to the east.
The caches in Sycamore Canyon more than a couple of miles from a
trailhead are visited only every few months. They must be too far
for most hikers to reach them, so I'm starting a series of caches
that are on the central trails. The objectives of putting these
caches are
1. To give mountain bikers some caches that are more than a few
minutes from the trailhead
2. To give hikers who like long hikes some more caches
3. To provide more caches to encourage more cachers to venture into
the heart of Sycamore Canynon
4. To encourage cachers to take up mountain biking to make it
easier for them to get to these
Of course all cachers are encouraged to seek these out whether
they arrive by bike, foot or horseback. In fact, some of these
caches will be on trails that are closed to bikes so you won't be
able to reach them on wheels! Also, bring some caches of your own
to deploy while you're looking for these. There's plenty of room,
and more deployers makes for a more interesting day of caching!
The terrain rating is high because of the distance from a
trailhead. These caches are all near firm and well-travelled
trails. Trailheads are listed on "Sin Nombre Crash Corner" GC1KGYR
(visit link) .
Sycamore Canyon is part of the majestic Pt Mugu State Park and
is immediately west of the Boney Mountain State Wilderness Area.
You can find detailed maps and trail descriptions at
VenturaCountyTrails.org on this page
(visit link) . Print out the
map and bring it with you to find the quickest way through the
park.
You are looking for a small camo'd peanut butter
jar.
