Geocache Description:

This is a small cache to welcome you to the parking area for the Morgan Trail. I usually hate micros in wilderness areas but since this is a parking area I think a larger cache would not last as long. Even though it is a micro, I think it's pretty cute.

Satellite Views from your phone won't help you here as there has been a fire in the area that wiped out a lot of the vegetation.

Please replace the cache exactly the way you find it. :)AN ADVENTURE PASS IS REQUIRED IN THIS AREA. You can purchase one at most sporting good stores as well as the Ortega Oaks Candy Store and a few other places along Ortega Hwy. A day pass is $5

The Morgan Trail, originally a Juaneno Indian route, crosses the north end of the San Mateo Canyon Wilderness. The trail connects South Main Divide Road with the Bear Canyon Trail by the Ortega Oaks Candy Store. The path descends through stream-fed Morrell Canyon in a lush oak, sycamore, and willow woodland with large granite boulders and grassy meadows. Beyond the canyon, the trail follows a low rolling ridge, providing vistas across the wilderness to the surrounding peaks.

****If you plan on hiking from this cache please bring extra water/electrolytes and hydrate before and during the hike. Bring more than one bottle of WATER!!! 2 liters or more is recommended for most hikes. Bring extra high-energy snacks, a charged cell phone and wear shoes with traction - Trails can be steep and/or rocky. All 10 essentials are always a smart idea. Make sure someone other than your hiking partners know were you are and approximately what time you plan on returning from your hike. ****
