There are five other caches in this park…4 are strenuous, 1 is easy.
This hike offers your choice of two devil imposed hardships.
Devil #1…When walking in on the main trail your "compass" will take you to a marked trail which goes to the left. If you take this trail you will only do a little cross country (downhill near the cache) but you will have to get through a barbed wire fence. (don't worry, it's still park property)
Devil #2…If you stay on the main trail for awhile, your "compass" will point sharp left after a little more hiking and you will have to go for a steep cross-country climb. While still on the main trail, you should see a water tank on the right. Depending on how you leave the cache area, you might still have to go through that barbed wire fence !
The ridge on which the cache is hidden is beautifully rocky and affords wonderful views. If you follow the ridge you can bear left and go up even higher; when you get on a trail, follow it up to see some neat small "caves" (child size). There are two sections of these openings on the trail as you near the top. They would make good cache sites except for the fact that many non-cache hikers would be investigating them.
If you follow this trail over the top you will be close to two of the other caches in this park.
Finally, when you post your finds, please don't reveal the Devil's…final secret.
Here's the view from the top...notice the white water tank across the road.
