There are two ways to get to the cache. Terrain rating of 2 assumes
starting from above and walking downhill. (Of course you 'll need
to walk back up.) Starting from below is more strenuous but more
interesting, terrain rating of 3.5 to 4.
Mountain bikes and dogs are welcome. No restrictions on hours.
There is some poison oak in the vicinity of the cache.
Fees: If you drive to the trailhead and plan on starting from
below, you risk a parking ticket without a Forest Service Adventure
Pass, $5 for a day or $30 per year. This is not the case should you
start from above.
Although the cache size is indicated as regular, due to the
specialized nature of the container, smaller items are
preferred.
It is not necessary or recommended to bushwhack to the cache
site from the castle. Do some exploration of the road/trail for an
easier way.
