The cache leads you to an old homestead that is on a new trail in Alderfer Park. The cache is on Mountain Muhly Trail. You cannot access it from any of the other trails.

The cache is a regular size screw top container.

4/30/15 Cache is now a small cookie tin. Best parking is at the upper lot of Alderfer/3 sisters park. The cache is about 1.5 miles round trip as the crow flies.
The cache is in the same area as my old cache http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=0faa9d0b-70e3-4571-942f-4a0b6dbd37db

Please cover the cache better than you found it, and I hope you enjoy your walk in this new part of the park.

Please stay on the trail until you get within 100 feet of the cache.

Daisy-dawg and I took a longer loop route to get there, and we stopped and smelled the flowers and still had plenty of time to
do this after work.

Pictures are welcome.

I've been here before when the road was still open to traffic, and people still lived in the cabins.

Many many thanks to TwoNewfs for replacing the container for me. This is a beautiful spot that really deserves a cache.

Can you imagine how peaceful it would be to live here?

Great day for a geocaching hike about. The trails were quiet this morning and quite enjoyable. Quick find and sign. Thanks.

Really neat area to explore. We have been to 3 Sisters many times, but never came up this way. Loved seeing the Homestead. Cache is doing well and hidden exactly as described.

The homestead looks to be in fine shape on the outside, seems strange abandoned. TFTC

Good camo and hiding spot. This was our first visit to the park and this is a good picnic spot.
