Off the Beaten Trail





Located along the Pacific Crest Trail not far from the Grassy Hollow Visitor Center. A quick off the trail grab with access off the Pacific Crest Trail - PCT. Follow the trail north of the trail and it will lead you to GZ. A trail will lead you to a view of the High Desert

The cache is a small tin that holds tradables. Use your geosenses for this one. The GPS'r had great signal, had accuracy of 10 feet. You're not going to have a problem with this one. You are in critter country and snakes have been spotted along this trail. As always, never stick your hand in dark places and use a stick to shake up things. I've been here countless times and never seen a snake, not saying that they don't exist. Adventure pass is required for this area, you can purchase a $5 daily pass in Wrightwood at the gas station. But if the visitor center is open you do not need a pass. I was told this in this visitor center. January 16, 2021 - Original cache location now sits 70' down slope. The winds had toppled the tree. New location west.....
