[Az-Geocaching] Power Trail not approved!

[Guy Aldrich]

Here is what was sent to Coadmin! I was planning about 20 caches along
this trail!

I have decided against the Reach 11 area because it's not as scenic as
I thought it would be so I decided to put caches along trail 100 which
is a well established popular trail! I will place them within 10 feet
of the trail using small high quality waterproof containers and space
them .25 is acceptable to you?I was thinking of calling this
series"Journey Through the Desert"

Here is more info on the trail!

Trail #100 - Charles M. Christiansen Memorial Trail
Length: 10.7 miles
Elevation: 2,080 ft. - 1,290 ft.
Multi-use trail
Difficulty: Easy to moderate

The trailhead is located at the north of Mountain View Park at Seventh
Avenue and Cheryl Drive. A dedication plaque, benches, paved parking,
drinking fountain and restrooms are available.

The Christiansen Trail is a multi-use trail that traverses the Phoenix
Mountains Preserve west to east and serves as the major artery for the
trail system in the Phoenix Mountains. The trail passes through
tunnels at Seventh Street, Cave Creek Road and Northern Avenue
avoiding any conflict with vehicular traffic.

The Christiansen Trail passes just north of the parking lot at Dreamy
Draw Recreation Area, which serves as an excellent access to the trail
and into the heart of the Phoenix Mountains Preserve. Paved parking, a
staging area with hitching racks, horse trough, drinking fountain and
restrooms are available at Dreamy Draw.

The Christiansen Trail continues east toward Piestewa Peak and
intersects the Perl Charles and Quartz Ridge Trails. The trail ends at
Tatum Boulevard, across from Tomahawk Drive where there is limited
parking. A popular access point is at 40th Street south of Shea
Boulevard where ample parking for cars and horse trailers is
available.
