Geocache Description:

From Hill Path #1 to Hill Path #2, #3 and #4, you will be traveling at various times on paved roads and trails.

Hill Path #3 - Howard Cadiou Trail

The trails and streets from Hill Path #2 to Hill Path #3 are starting to get steeper as you go. About 275' up from #2, you will level out onto the Camino Alto Fire Road. Once there, you can turn right and head toward the paved fire lane where it meets Summit Drive and then head uphill from there. Now you can choose whether you want to walk the entire way to Hill Path #3 on pavement, or part way up and take a short-cut on Howard Cadiou Trail. The short-cut is a nice way to go, but for a relatively short distance it is very steep. The coords for the trail up are 37 55.339N, 122 32.182W (see the photo in the gallery for the visual location).

This should be an easy micro to find, but bring your own pen/pencil. I simply wanted to give you a rest and something to do on the way up to Hill Path #4.
