The north side of Tilden and into Wildcat Canyon is a wonderful
area for hiking, but greatly lacking in geocaches.
Spent a spring morning hiking and caching, with an eye out to
dropping one or more caches along the way. Found a great spot, but
Better Half said with all this rain, the poison oak is going to
block access to it within weeks. So we looked a little farther till
we found this spot, which might be even better.
You’ll find it along an unmapped path not far off the main
trail. It may be approached from above (Wildcat Peak) or below
(Jewel Lake) ; either way you will experience some hill climbing,
but nothing technical.
There are several other caches not far away to make it worth
your while.
