Geocache Description:

This one is for the mountain climbers out there. There are no trails to this one, just good old fashioned cross-country, bush-whackin' mountain climbing.

I've looked up at this mountain everyday as I've driven home from work and kept thinking it needs a cache on top of it. After a little research, I found out it has a name - Toad Head. Pretty cool name for a mountain if you ask me! This is 1 of 3 in the "Toad" series of caches that I placed up there. Be sure to grab the other two as well:

The key to this one is approach. I found the easiest route up was Buckley Draw, but there are certainly other ways to get there. Once you're near the cache, you'll find there is only one direction from which you can actually get to it. Please don't attempt to climb up any cliffs. It's definitely not necessary and extremely dangerous. Also, don't attempt a direct route down the cliffs from this one to Toad Back. See the hint in Toad Back for how to approach it from this one.

Give yourself plenty of time to find the series of caches up there. Depending on the shape you're in, it could take you anywhere from 2-4 hours round trip. Be sure to take plenty of water. You'll need it due to the strenuousness of the hike.

If you're interested, I found some cool fossils in the rock near the top at N 40 13.157 W 111 36.504.

Don't forget to have fun. Good luck!
