This cache is located within 150 yards of the Heiroglyphic Canyon cache placed by Team WrongWay (thanks for the great driving directions!). I rated it a 3 because of the rocky trail and lack of shade for the first mile. Bring good boots, watch for the cholla cactus, and once it reaches 100 degrees bring plenty of water.
After we placed our cache, I re-read on this site that the parking area is on private property. I hope the owner allows continued access to the national forest and Superstition Wilderness - it would be a shame if they closed this area.
The Trailhead for Hieroglyphic Canyon is accessed through residential neighborhoods.
