You're looking for a camoed 1lb. coffee can. The cache is located on the Rincon Shortcut, a 26 mile long dirt road between Azusa Canyon and Angeles Crest Highway.
After hearing of this road years ago we finally made the trip up here. We stopped at this view and noticed the seed pods were "popping" open and shooting their seeds all over. This was the first time I have seen this happen.
A free permit and gate combination are needed to drive the road. These can be picked up at the San Gabriel Canyon Forest Service Ranger District Office in Glendora or, on weekends, at the San Gabriel Canyon OHV Area on Hwy. 39 just before the trailhead. Vehicles parked on the trail must display a Forest Adventure Pass. First half of trip is a graded road but narrow in a few places. Last part of trip is rocky and steep in spots. Suitable for all stock SUVs with high ground clearance and low-range 4-wheel drive.
