5/10/06: Seems like a lot of people are bushwhacking to this one. Not sure why. This cache was setup to be reachable from a few different routes, all on existing trails. Depending on your approach, you may have to follow some switchbacks, but all the trails in this OSP are great, so you can't go wrong by following the trails.

1/2006: The 2nd new trail in this OSP is now open too. It is the very short connector trail that links the new parking lot to the Cordilleras Trail.
