After finding Butano Creek
(GCGQPD), I needed to get back to Jackson Flats Trail. I
noticed an unofficial trail heading the right direction, so I
followed it. The trail follows a small ravine and eventually
climbed up to where I wanted to be. I hid my first cache of this
trip along the way.
The four star terrain rating is well earned here as the trail
can be hard to follow in places and encounters many obstacles that
you will need get around/under/or over. I did this hike with a ~70
pound pack on and by myself, so it is doable.
Tree coverage is heavy here, and there are many places to hide a
cache. Though the cache size is small, it is in plain sight and to
avoid unnecessary frustration, the hints include very detailed
spoilers. I have also marked the general location with a large
"X".
After finding the cache, continue going up until you reach a
large clearing. From here, turn left and continue up the hill until
you reach Jackson Flats Trail.
