In celebration of finding the last remaining hide in Briones Regional Park, I've hidden a series of caches in the park itself. Many of the caches were placed in "why is there no cache here" or "I wonder what this trail leads to" type spots, so hopefully even Briones veterans will see parts of the park they've never seen or rarely visited. And be prepared for normal Briones caching issues (thistles, possible poison oak, ticks, etc.) Enjoy!
Note that this cache was placed prior to the creation of its puzzle, so don't expect anything particularly themed.

You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
For the first three finders, there are three unused trackables (please take one each).
And I owe a massive thank you to teamajk, Jeremy Horwitz, and Tyler Hinman for playtesting and improving the puzzle. This is my first cryptic, so it certainly needed some qualified eyes. Thanks.
