California Hiking and Riding Trail is a part of the East Bay Regional Park District.
Did you know that the East Bay Regional Parks District is the largest urban park system in the entire country? This geocache is part of the Passport to the East Bay Parks series.
There is one special geocache in each of the East Bay Regional Parks properties (except a few that don't allow geocaches.) At the time of this cache placement, the park district encompasses 199,000 acres. Please enjoy all the parks and trails, but please respect the Park rules.
Be sure to stamp your passport with the stamp provided in the geocache. Many of the Passport geocaches have blank passport booklets in the container. You can also download a Passport via Passport To The Parks
When you completely fill up your Passport, you can redeem it for a special prize. Of course, there is no cost for participating. For further information on the Passport series, see Passport To The Parks
California Hiking and Riding Trail
This historic trail provides spectacular views, community access, and a challenging and rewarding experience to trail users of various abilities. When completed, it will extend 16 miles and will connect Martinez to Mt. Diablo State Park. Currently the trail is completed from Martinez to Concord, and will soon make the final link to Mt. Diablo. The trail passes from Carquinez Regional Shoreline over the Franklin Hills and makes a connection to the John Muir Historic Site.

The cache is located a short walk from Crystyl Ranch Rd and Rolling Woods Way with parking on either street near the Trail Head. The trail is a flat fire road.
Don't forget to stamp your passport with the stamp inside the cache container.
