Just a little cache to get you to one of two parking spots for
the Carveacre Windcaves to Gaskill Peak trail. Before setting out
to find this cache, block out several hours of your day for the
adventure, charge up the batteries in your camera, and prepare for
an experience many people wouldn't get unless they visit a National
Park.
A little sampling of the amazing views along the trail
Access to the trailhead for this amazing hike along a riding and
hiking trail that goes all the way from "
Arachnophobes Not Invited" to "
Chevy No-Va" is from Carveacre Road, a well-maintained, graded
road which winds south off Japatul Valley Road southeast of
Alpine.
Once you are on Carveacre road follow it to Gaskill Peak Road
and then turn onto Lost Trail, a single-lane road. The parking spot
is just large enough for two vehicles.
From here, the elusive trail can be difficult to follow, however
if you walk towards N 32° 45.276 W 116° 42.514 to the southwest,
over all the chipped and regrowing brush, you will find an odd, and
sometimes-funny dirt track that eventually leads you to the
well-established trail. The main trail continues near N 32° 45.209
W 116° 42.511. From there, head to "
Ouch, That Musta Hurt."
You are looking for an Altoids tin.
