Planning to find the cache:
This trail is open dawn to dusk. Take water. May not be able to find with snow on the ground. There are two access points you could consider for this one. One is NOT an official trailhead, and will drastically decrease the terrain rating. I suggest parking at the Reuter-Hess Incline Trailhead. Bikes and dogs are not allowed on certain areas, but you can access the cache without using that portion of the trail. Signs will direct you. Bikers, follow the signs where dogs are permitted. Hint: Counter Clockwise.
You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
