Geocache Description:

This Cache is on Mt. Rubidoux at elevation 1300' and looks over Riverside and Rubidoux. It's also in a 1 lb butter tub. The hike to the Cache is at the most 1.5 miles depending, which way you go. The elevation change is 500 feet. You might even see rock climbers. I give it 3 stars on terrain because of the long upwards walk, kids that don't mind walking will be fine

There are no motorized vehicles allowed. The paved road up is crowed around 6:00pm with joggers and walkers getting a nice view of the sunset. Bikes are allowed and you should bring em if you think you can make it.
The best place to park and where every one that walks the mountain parks at is at:
N 33°58.778
W 117°23.522
Which is in the 4600 block of San Andreas Ave. in Riverside, CA. nearest cross street is Tesquesquite.
This is the old down road you want to go up, and at the first hair pin turn about .5 miles up you'll maybe want to take the long way up for the view by crossing the dirt medium to the old up road, or you can just stay on the road your on which is shorter but steeper. Or what the heck find a vertical dirt trail from the bottom and go straight up!
After finding the Cache try to find the Geo Survey marker thats glued to a rock @:
N33°59.033
W117°23.591
Elevation: 1320'
