Geocache Description:

This cache is located in the Anza Borrego Desert in an area called Oriflamme Canyon.  There is a short drive up Oriflamme canyon to get to the cache parking location.  Any high clearance 2WD vehicle should be able to make it, but watch out for the sandy areas.  If you prefer, you can park near the entrance to the canyon and hike the whole way.



To get to the cache, take the Oriflamme Canyon turnoff on the West side of S2 at N 33 00.456 W 116 27.378. Head up the canyon until you get to the parking coordinates at N 33 00.788 W 116 28.042. There is a short hike to the cache from the parking coordinates. There is no established trail, so choose your path carefully, watching for snakes.

The cache is in a large ammo box filled to the brim with lots of goodies. If you plan on trading, please bring some good swag to trade. If you have some time and a 4WD vehicle, you can keep going up the canyon, eventually climbing up and over to Route 78 near the store on Banner Grade.

Happy Geocaching,
Rocket Man
