Geocache Description:

Good place to take a rest along the Rocky Ridge Trail in Santa Teresa County Park.

After hiking down this single track from Coyote Peek one day, I finally found a wide, flat spot at the "bottom" where I could step aside and take a break. Just after I put my pack down and was about to grab a bite to eat, a couple of mountain bikers came screaming down the hill. A few bites later, a couple more came flying down. When I finished my snack, a couple more bikers ripped down the hill. When I was about to leave, a wanna be downhiller inched his way past me. From the looks like the area, this is the "reward" for downhill mountain bikers after climbing up to Coyote Peak. You can collect this "reward" too, by either biking, hiking, or horseback riding up or down this trail.

The cache is located slightly off the trail in a location where you can safely watch the mountain bikers zoom down the trail.

Park hours are from 8:00am to sunset. Dogs on leash and bicycles are allowed on the trail. Nearest parking is available at the Pueblo group picnic area ($6 parking fee) or from the free parking area at the end of Bernal Road.

Cache is in a camo taped 2" x 4" x 6" plastic container which contains some bicycling related trinkets (you don't need to stick to the theme), logsheet, geo-note, and pen.
