"Watch out for Trolls!" (and muggles)
This cache was placed on Patriot's Day, 2010, shortly after the opening of the Canyon Rim Trail. The trail is an asphalt-surfaced 7,600-foot trail south of New Mexico Highway 502 between the guard tower and the East Road Fire Station.
A parking area at the east trail head accommodates 10 vehicles. Reach the trail head by traveling east on East Road (NM Highway 502) about 1.8 miles from downtown Los Alamos. The trail head is on the south (right) side of the road about 200 yards before you reach the entrance to the Pajarito Cliffs Site, Entrada, and the Holiday Inn Express.
Trail users can also park at East Park near the west end of the trail. Cross to the south side of the highway at a pedestrian cut in the median, turn left, and travel the sidewalk to the fire station. Continue east on the wide shoulder in front of the fire station about 75 yards to the trail head.
The cache originally included a Dragon, a Mountain Lion, a Frog, an unactivated geocoin for FTF, and is the home cache for the "Free at Last" geocoin.
