Heading to Phoenix AZ

[coachgrinnan]

I am going to spend Christmas on Phoenix. Are there any must see caches there?? I will also go to thr Grand Canyon. Any favorites there?

 

Thank you

I hiked to that one in the Spring, and had a blast!

I agree with this.

Also, if you like to hike check out my cache "Where eagles dare".

If I have any spare time I might be able to line you up for a hike with a cache or two.

Also, it's possibly the first cache listed on geocaching.com without being originally ported from Mike Teague's database.

I'm very partial to King Usery's Treasure (GC56D) just east of the Mesa area (about 45 minutes-1 hour east of "downtown" Phoenix). It's a cool hike up to a place known as the wind caves in Usery Mountain, then a short climb to the summit of the mountain to find the cache. Scenic views of the entire Valley of the Sun await when you reach this cache. The hike is somewhat strenuous, but a moderately fit cacher should be able to make it up and back without any difficulties.

 

Hope you enjoy your time here in Arizona!

On the way to the Grand Canyon we enjoyed Old Grand Canyon Airport - This Old House GC1XY97. We DNFd it, but it back up now. No hike, but we had fun wandering around.
