You'll be rewarded with spectacular views of Golden from this vantage point. Don't throw rocks over the bluffs, as sometimes there are hikers and rock climbers below.

Altitude: 6513', which is 500 feet higher than the parking spot on highway 93 below.

You're looking for a camo 6" pill bottle.

Sometimes the wind blows strongly up here. This is rattlesnake country, so don't put your hands into places you can't see.

One way to approach this cache is to walk or bicycle up the gravel road that rises from highway 93 from the northwest. The road's a favorite of hikers and cyclists--watch out for bikes quickly descending.

The views are best if you approach this cache along a faint trail near the edge of the cliffs. Here's what I saw when I took the cliff-edge trail instead of the more obvious jeep track:

Checked on this one. Container is good. Hint: Look for a film canister between the wooden benches in this 4 Jan 2019 photo.

TFTC Found this one by the satellite image as my compass and GPS quit working. Also found another unregistered cache nearby in a 35 mm film canister.
