Bite the Bullet Traditional Geocache
VCTrails: I hate to archive this one because I thought it was a lot of fun, but it seems to have disappeared shortly after the last time I replaced it. Either the muggles or the wildlife are trashing them. There's enough room around here to place a more traditional cache.

This cache is at the bottom of the Topanga Ridge Trail where Calabasas Peak Motorway and Red Rock Road meet. It is 0.6 miles from Stunt Road and 1.1 miles from the parking area in Red Rock Canyon Park. There is a magnet in the lid to help with retrieval.
The Topanga Ridge Trail is a beautiful but rocky and often steep ridgeline trail that climbs through the amazing sandstone formations just east of Stunt Road in Calabasas. Although not very long, only strong hikers should attempt this trail! This cache marks the start of a series of caches up this trail.
To get to the trail, park on Stunt Road in Calabasas where Calabasas Peak Motorway meets it (N34° 5.712', W118° 38.957'). Hike up Calabasas Peak Motorway 0.6 miles to Red Rock Road. The trail heads uphill to the south-east from here. Or you can park at Red Rock Park (fee area) at the end of the pavement on Red Rock Road, roughly N34° 6.311', W118° 38.243', and hike the 1.1 miles to Calabasas Peak Mtwy. Or, from the top, park at the overlook at the intersection of Stunt Road and Saddle Peak Road, N34° 4.88', W118° 38.711', then hike north-east on the Topanga Ridge Motorway.
