This is one of my favorite hikes (and closest to my home), and I just wanted to link up the caches along this great trail. I don't expect a bunch of finders, but sometimes it's not about finding the caches, but the journey along the way.
Total time should be about 3-5 hours depending. Bring a camera and don't forget your water. The hardest part is the initial push to the tower and then it’s a rolling up and down (for the most part) until Paine Mountain. The path from here is a relatively short hawl of a 3.5/4 to Pain Mountain, a a cache, and don't forget to find the benchmark while there! This is not meant to be a difficult micro in the woods type cache, but more of a get out there and enjoy your surroundings type.
There is a puzzle cache for those who go the distance, but I really don't remember what cache I put the coordinates in. Your job is to find the right cache and the smiley is yours. I think it might be in this one, but not sure.
