Well, there is this big boulder area, some trees are involved, and you can see forever.
Two places I know of to park. One is at the start of the trail using the coordinates from Bell Park Cache by sanderson (GCZEHF). Another possibility is to park off of Stanley Park Road and I am including those coordinates as a WP. From the latter it is a steep 1/4 mile or so to the cache. Good deer trails are available almost the entire way.

Once at the view spot you will be looking for a larger peanuts jar that has been camoed and hidden in a snug little spot. Cache contains a log book and pencil plus a few trading items. You may wish to bring a camera and a spare pen or pencil too ;-)

 Hints

Look for two small trees growing close together out of the rock formation. The lower of the two is a Douglas Fir and the cache is under that one.

Wow this cache has been here for over 10 years and is still in good shape. This area is not well-traveled and has some nice views. Stopped here for a minute at the top of the rocks to look at the views before heading up further.

Thanks for the hide!

Thanks for the cache. My dog and I had a fun little hike to find it. Love these little unknown parks. Very few people and close to home. Happy Memorial Day.

Wow, what a climb. Steep, difficult, cactus and rocks. I've seen a number of easier caches with more difficult ratings. Excellent view. Left a Texas Lone Star. K7

We came at these caches from the wrong way, as we listened to Google. Turned out to be a good thing, as we met the land owner who showed us that three of the caches along the ridge line here are on his private land. A good thing? Yes, I think I found where I will build my Summer retirement home. Turns out Randy the land owner is a developer and showed me his place and I loved it. Yet another great geocaching adventure gone right.

Things I learned today...Google maps and my Garmin Nuvi both lie horribly about where to park. If you find out that Google and Garmin have lied to you, parking near their suggestions and taking the shortest route isn't going to be very easy. Once you hit the ridgeline, it makes the journey well worth it. Last but not least, Mondo really is everywhere! Cache is in good condition. Thanks for the adventure. TFTC!!!!

My #1003 with David who is height averse. I had to replace the extra rock because the other one fell. This felt like a higher terrain, but I'm from Pennsylvania. Wow! Now to get down. :-( TFTC

Hiked up to replace the cache but someone had already done that :-) Left a whistle!

It was a pretty easy hike over here from the mayor. Container still needs replacing. The tape is the only thing holding it all together and there is a good sized chunk gone from the lip.
