Geocache Description:

Not far from a new bridge along the Sierra Vista Trail. Perhaps a good spot for an afternoon picnic. No access to this cache from Sierra Road.


To get to this cache, you will need to climb up out of Alum Rock Park via the North Rim and Todd L. Quick trails -- there is no access to this cache from Sierra Road. Pass through the gate at the top of the Todd L. Quick Trail and follow the Boccardo Loop around to the right until you reach the Sierra Vista Trail. From there, you have a pleasant mile and a half hike along a most gorgeous ridge... terrain rating reflects this ambitious hike or bike ride.

Access to this cache is only through Alum Rock Park. Parking in Alum Rock Park is $6 per vehicle. The park is closed every Monday. Do not hunt this cache on days when Alum Rock Park is closed.

This cache was placed and is maintained by Open Space Authority volunteers under the guidance and supervision of the OSA.
