Bradford Ridge Path Traditional Cache

This cache is located along Bradford Ridge Path. It can be accessed from a trailhead off HWY 173. Driving in from Lake Arrowhead, take the 173 past the Willow Creek Jeep Trail. There is a bridge crossing Kinley Creek, the trailhead is on the right before the bridge. I have posted coordinates to the trailhead.  It is a 2 mile hike that ascends 277ft and descends 620ft. There is a bit of rock hopping required.

This cache is located to the right of the trail. It is a small black metal cylinder. There is a small log but no writing instrument. Bring your own pencil/pen. There is a micro coin trackable for the first to find.

If you continue past the cache the trail descends into the canyon to the Pacific Crest Trail. Be warned, the rest of this trail becomes a steep and treacherous hike. The trail degrades and drops into a dry creek bed. Follow that to the trail which shortly forks. Turn right and continue 100-200 feet to Deep Creek. This oasis has multiple small sandy beaches with hot springs to soak in.
