A short hike with a scramble at the end, with terrific views of
Tujunga Wash and Hansen Dam.
There are multiple approaches to this spot near the junction of the
Oliver Truck Trail and 2N94. If you ascend from Foothill Drive, you
can see your destination looming like a wart on the ridge above.
Don't panic as you near the cache, it's not as bad as it first
appears, but do use utmost caution on the final ascent.
Cache is a large painted poly jar containing typical geoswag
tchotchkes. Please replace carefully.
The trail is very exposed, hot, and dry— please take
necessary precautions, and carry adequate provisions: lots
of water, sunscreen, etc.

I'm glad you put some calming words in the cache page, as the sight of this thing would otherwise have struck terror into my mildly acrophobic heart. Nevertheless there is a perfectly reasonable approach for the patient geocacher. Thanks for the spectacular view.

What a great time! There are yellow blooms all over the hills. Three of our group of four clawed our way to the cache. We described the contents to the one who remained on terra firma, and then ignored his repeated pleas to trade for a certain item. I appreciated the view of Tujunga Wash, in which our family has geocached several times.We continued on a short way to Oliver Saddle, where we climbed on that giant spool thingy. Anyone know what it is? The Saddle offers a nice view of Little Tujunga Canyon Road, on which we've travelled in the recent past to get to Mendenhall Ridge, Limerock Canyon, and Oak Spring.

I did the caches along the road today. An enjoyable afternoon walk.This is another of colin&daddy's patented "If this doesn't kill you, it will make you stronger" caches.  I wouldn't recommend the last pitch without a good set of hiking sticks and a good sense of balance. To see some photos of the area, please go to my geocaching blog at (visit link)
