Another cache in the Greenwell Preserve. This one can be found on the North West portion of the Summerland Trail.
The Summerland Trail is part of a complex that was primarily created to provide horseback riders with a route extending from Toro Canyon on the east to the Montecito riding clubs on the west. However, these trails also provide hikers with several very nice routes leading from the Summerland area. As you drive up Greenwell you will notice a large parking area near the preserve sign. The Summerland Trail leads directly out of the parking area, following an old dirt road up a small side canyon for a half mile will take you to to Ortega Ridge Road.
A hundred yards along the way you will notice a trail on the right that crosses the creek through an opening in the willow thickets. This is the trail you want to take. Often, in the winter after it has rained the crossing is more of a bog and you are likely to get your shoes muddy making it across. If you walk over the bridge that spans the small creek you know you're on the right trail. The side trail leads up a half-mile long ridge to the Cynthia Wood Trail. This makes it possible to do a loop walk.
