Geocache Description:

A full-size cache not far from the trail in a pleasant location. A short hike from the Webb Canyon entrance and cache.

Coming from the Webb Canyon entrance, the hike starts off paved but pretty steep. After a few minutes you'll reach the dirt trails and it soon becomes much easier as you follow the hill contours.

The best way to access the cache location is to locate the rocky streambed that crosses the main trail. Follow the faint deer trail on the left side (as you look uphill) of the streambed then cut to your left when you are close to the cache.

This cache used to be heavily camo'd and painted. It blended it so well at first that people actually stepped on it before noticing it. Most of that paint and other detail is long gone but nature has added some weathering.

Please tread lightly here and watch for any critters.
