Geocache Description:


The Westwood Hills are located in a heavily wooded area in west Napa. The cows are out and about, but as the name of this cache says, “Not on this side of the park”.

The paths can be steep at times, but are manageable. When you are near the top of the trail, you can take a rest on a wooden bench and admire the view of Napa. My 12-year-old son told me that it’s the most beautiful place in an urban area, ever!

While sitting on the bench (with no back rest) you might notice that the cache is practically in front of you, but don’t go cross country yet…there’s another smaller trail just a little ways off to your right (as you're sitting on the bench looking east). Take that path and when the distance to the cache begins to increase, you know you’re close by and that's where you'll want to leave the path and take cover in the trees. The drop site is among a grove of trees where you will be hidden from view and be able to continue your search.

Parking is free. Dogs are welcome in this park, but must be kept on leash due to the wildlife in the area: cows, deer, squirrels, etc.

Happy Caching!!!

*** I guess that there are no cows on this side of the park in the spring, but during the summer they leave cow patties EVERYWHERE!!! Watch your step...even on this side of the park :) ***
