NOTE: CACHE IS NOT THE LETTERBOX!!! DZ discovered a letterbox near GZ so employ the hint and make sure you grab the small camo'd lock-and-lock.
Uphill and to the left of this cache you can spy the nest of a Dusky-footed Woodrat AKA the pack rat. There are many such homes to view along the trails.
Pack Rat Nest
The start of the El Chorro hike is easy, strolling on a decomposing roadway. There are interesting oak and sycamore trees along the road side and in the fields. Approximately two tenths of a mile from the gate where you enter the Dairy Creek Trail, there is the trailhead to Eagle Rock Trail.
The Eagle Rock Trail is moderate, approximately seven tenths of a mile long, and gains in elevation almost 340 feet. The view from the top of the trail, Eagle Rock, is well worth the hike. You look over Camp San Luis Obispo and Cuesta College.
The hike, because of its elevation gain, takes about an hour to complete. The area is now owned and overseen by San Luis Obispo County. At the bottom of the hike, the county has a large park with outdoor play equipment for the kids, sports fields for the adults along with an interesting art museum and botanical gardens.
