Geocache Description:

This multicache will take you along a path with spectacular views of the Santa Clara Valley. The path is a popular walking spot for locals. Ideally the cache seeker should also walk the path to fully appreciate it, but there is parking near each stage (but each stage is definitely not a 'drive up'). If you seek to the final cache, you can walk on sidewalks all the way until the last 15'.

I drive this route almost every day on my way to and from work/home. Every day I am inspired by the view and am struck with how 'small' this valley truly is. I encourage you to walk the route, although it may be more walking than some are prepared to do. I see the same people walking the route each and every day. If you walk it, bring comfortable walking shoes & water. If you drive it, please be mindful to park legally and safely. If you walk it, you should be able to do the stages of the cache in about 1.5 to 2 hours. If you drive it, it will probably take you 30 minutes.
Each stage of the multicache is different. Different placement, different technique, different size. But each should be fairly easy to find for an observant seeker. Each stage will lead you to the next, until you reach the final cache.
In the final stage I have seeded the cache with:
- Travel bug TB19158 (trying to get to China)
- Carabiner flashlight
- Tennis cap
- Sandal wood elephant keyfob
- Carabiner compass
- Car

Congratulations to Geokashers for FTF.
