Geocache Description:

Third in my series of alphabetic caches. Wear a good pair of hiking boots for this one, you have a little bit of climbing to do to get to this cache. You'll also need to bring a flashlight to explore the nearby caves. Expect your feet to get wet in the caves, they are somewhat flooded during some times of the year!

The original cache placed at this location has disappeared, but the Pinnacles is such a beautiful spot, I've chosen to make this a virtual cache rather than archiving it.

To score this cache, you will need to both 1) hike the trail which passes near the coordinates listed above and 2) hike completely through the caves you'll find near this location. When my sons and I originally placed this cache, we hiked the trail then returned by way of the caves, but you can do it in any order.

Bring a camera along when you visit this park. Between the rock formations, the views, and the wildflowers you'll have plenty of things to shoot. Bringing five dollars for parking would also be a good idea.

Also, keep your eyes open for rattlesnakes. We didn't see (or hear!) any this visit, but they are known to frequent the area.

One other thing: No fair scoring this cache just because you've hiked through these caves in the past! You will have to make a new trip here to score it.

Other caches in this series: 'A' Is For Alum, 'B' Is For Beachhead, 'D' Is For Desert Phone Booth, 'E' Is For Expedition, 'F' Is For Faultline, 'G' Is For Ghost Town, and 'H' Is For Highpoint.

Have fun!
