Geocache Description:

Beautiful hike. my first ever hide. Be shure to bring water and be ready for some rock hopping.

My first but fun.
medium size green tupperware.

This hike is very fun . it twists up through the canyon past the first set of jumps. you will be doning some intense rock hopping over large boulders so be ready . when you get to the campsite that is resting in a narrow canyon only about 12'-16' wide thats branching off to the left then your prettymuch below the cache . you need to get up above the water fall at the campsite, where youl find a great private waterhole. get on right side of the canyon and head up the rock face till you get to some flat ground . you need to get to the top og the canyn here. there is a climbing anchor on a boulder at the top. but it can be done ok without climbing gear.

Note: If you have trouble getting to the Cache location, try approaching from the eastern side of the ridge which has a much more gradual ascent.
