Molly Shock has added more caches to Griffith Park. I decided to do the western section after work today. It was a nice walk. The paths were busy with hikers and a few horse riders.
The caches were all straight forward hides, except for Tuesday, which I DNFed. I made a loop out of the hike, but I don’t recommend it. You can see the route that I took on the photo above. It’s all good trail (mostly road) the entire walk until passed After The Fire. After that, it’s iffy. I took a clockwise route around the quarry which is the site of Batman’s Cave. It was mostly a bushwhack for the last part of the hike. If you know of a better way down from After The Fire to the Bronson Canyon parking area, please let me know.
Here are some photos from the walk.
Here are the cache’s on today’s Found list:

Yeah, i was plotting this out too, and having been to the After the Fire site before, i think it’s better done as a two-car route (one car park outside the tunnel along the road to the observatory just east of ‘Sunday’, one @ bronson).

Descending from After the Fire (the small tank near the road) follow the single track to the point above Bronson Cave. Look for the trail descending to the right, and go counter-clockwise around the quarry. It’s steep, but it’s definitely a trail. Gets you down to the quarry no problem.
