Geocache Description:


**The container is at the posted coordinates and you can sign the log any time. In order to log this as 'found' online, you also need to complete the challenge below:**

Your challenge is to find at least one geocache that fits these oddly specific parameters:

  • Difficulty 1.5
  • Terrain 3.5
  • Type traditional
  • Not size micro or small
  • Placed on September of any year
  • Within Idaho

To reach this spot, take the 'water tank ridge' trail from the Upper City Creek trailhead and parking area (which is open year round) for 1.5 miles with about 960' of ascent one way. The city creek trail network is closed to off road vehicles and motorbikes from November 15th - May 15th but when open, water tank ridge trail can be accessed by all terrain vehicles. Beware, it is a challenging route with steep rocky sections and steep dirt sections that are impassable when wet. Foot and pedal powered traffic is welcome year round. The early and late parts of November 15th and May 15th tend to be muddy and impassable. You can still make it by hiking to the side of the trail, which is permitted and causes minimal trail damage. When snowy, you might see people snow shoeing and XC skiing the trail network here. I wouldn't recommend this trail for XC skis but snow shoeing would be a blast. 

We have permission from parks and recreation to have this geocache here in this rocky outcrop. The container is a quite large metal tin. The lid can be tough to open so it might be worth bringing some tools to persuade it open - a hammer and flathead perhaps.
