Visiting Phoenix

[+Goodguys]

We will be visiting the Phoenix area and will have a day and a few evenings for caching.

 

We were wondering if there are any 'must-see' or interesting historical caches that anyone would recommend.

 

Thanks,

I recommend 'A' Mountain Cache in Tempe. It took me a while to find but you will get some good views of the area from there.

When is it that you're heading down? I may be able to give you a few caches to add to your list. Also, what style of caches are you looking to do? A lot of hiking caches? Caches to do at night? etc.

Thanks for the replies, we left for Phoenix on the 9th and didn't get internet connections till last night.

CoCaCher; we will try and get a chance to get to that cache one evening this week before we head for home.

Also thanks loads to Team 360 for suggesting the ones up by Canyon Lake. We went up there this morning and managed to grab 6 caches, walk through the old Ghost Town/Mine, see our first scorpion(way to up close and personal) while at the Needle, then topped it off with lunch in Tortilla Flat. A very good morning!

There are many caches to visit, and if you enjoy hiking then there are many caches in the various desert parks and preserves. The weather is getting more hospitable for outdoor activities (daytime highs are now below 100° F). I live near South Mountain Park so that would be a good place to consider if you are in the southern part of Phoenix or the suburbs of Tempe or Chandler. Here is an example of a quality cache in South Mountain Park that is one of the newest caches in the Park, and here is another quality cache that is the oldest active cache in South Mountain Park (note the four-character waypoint name).
