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. The approach from Toad Head to this one can be a little tricky. Do NOT attempt a direct route down the cliffs. For a safe approach from Toad Head, see the hint.

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.

The cache container only has room for the log and very small items. Be sure to BYOP for this one.

Don't forget to have fun. Good luck!
