+michigan_chris Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 My wife and I have planned a week long geocaching trip to Phoenix in November. I searched the forums and found lots of suggestions for quick layover-type caches; however, I am hoping people could suggest some good caching areas for non-urban, non-stealthy type caches. Looking at the geocaching.com maps it appears that the Tonto National Forest has lots of caches. Are there any other nice forests or parks that are scenic and have some caches that we should visit? Thanks for any input! Chris Quote Link to comment
+Cow Spots Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 While it's true that much of Metro Phoenix is Micro City, you'll find some good sized caches in Thunderbird Park, Papago Park, and South Mountain Park as well. Quote Link to comment
+AZBuckeye04 Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 Yeah, the areas Cow Spot mentions are terrific places to cache. There are some good caches in South Mountain and if you're exhausted and not up to the hike, you can actually drive to the top and there are a few caches just a little ways from the parking areas. One of our favorite places is in the Thunderbird Park area. We spent a morning there once and easily bagged 7 caches (while passing another 5 or 6 that we had already done). For a good reference for these caches checkout Tbird Park - Moo and Rocky's View. This cache and the other 2 nearest it are on what seemed like a less traveled area to us. Be sure to check our log entry for a couple photos of the amazing views! Let us know if you're looking for something closer, maybe we can offer up some further suggestions.

+Thystle Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 Try White Elephant GCQJE1 its not a micro, its non-stealthy, and you can stuff those mega-TBs in there with the lava lamp and the picnic table. Quote Link to comment
