Easy 10 minute walk from hotel complex in Southern side of Eilat
This cache will give you a bit of an idea of what it is like to hike in the desert in the Eilat mountains and the views of mountains and sea that you will see.
This geocache can be reached in 10 minutes if you drive to the end of the road that goes to the "Club In" hotel.
If you begin your walk from the main southern Eilat road add another 5 minutes of walking time.
The cache is hidden in a small green plastic container,
Cache is off the main trail and may take searching to find under what rocks it is hidden. An experienced geocacher should be able to recognize where there are rocks that don't look naturally in place. IF not, the hints and/or the spoiler photo should help you zero in on it . Remember flash floods flow through the wadis so a cache would not be hidden in the wadi.
Even though this cache is a fairly easy walk - always carry water with you in the desert. You can buy water at the gas station located on the road going West to the Club In hotel - especially important if you plan on hiking to Mt. Zafahot.
PLEASE return cache to it's exact location including putting the hint where it was so others will be able to find it. Thanks.
You can continue along the blue trail to the steep ascent up to Mt. Zefahot where another geocache is hidden. Allow at least 1 hour up plus time to rest and make sure you have a hat and at least 1 1/2 liters of water per person ( 3 liters each in the summer months!)
