Geocache Description:

Beautiful, easy trail. TAKE THE HINT WITH YOU AS THIS ONE IS HARD WITHOUT IT!

Roadside parking (N37 25.322, W122 20.243) on Tunitas Creek Road affords access to the quietest part of Purisima, a parcel of land obtained in 1993 by Peninsula Open Space Trust. This easy 3.6 mile, 2.0 hour round trip out-and-back hike winds through huckleberry, tanoak, redwood, Douglas fir, and madrone. Heading on past the cache offers views south and west to the ocean.

Bald Knob Trail is very quiet as it's a hiking only (no dogs, horses or bicycles) path. Unusual views of the soft rolling hills of western San Mateo County are an added treat.

Please tread lightly. You'll not have to overturn any rocks, downed trees or anything of the likes. Cache is hidden in the bushes.
