CONGRATULATIONS TO TEAM LAXSON FOR FTF!
As you make your way to the summit of Burnt Mountain (elevation 9,353 feet), get prepared for a surprise! At the top of this Boulder County Ranked Peak you’ll discover a miniature version of the famous Stonehenge rock architecture. And these structures are complemented by rock walls, and rock benches, and rock pillars that go on and on. I wonder who played with all of these rocks! Their positioning took some concerted effort, and some serious time...

After you’ve finished your tour of this construction marvel, move to GZ and hunt for the mountain treasure that you made this hike in order to locate. You’re searching for a painted cylindrical jar. After you’ve signed its log, carefully rehide the cache. This location is clearly a domain visited from time-to-time by the muggles who come here to labor on the Stonehenge tract!

Oh, and while you are enjoying Colorado’s Stonehenge, look at the more distant vistas. The views of the high mountains of Indian Peaks Wilderness from this vantage are awesome!

I'm going to log this cache again, a year later. A group of us returned to the area for a annual party/reunion. This year I brought a group of 8 up hear to see Coloado's Stonehenge and to find there first geocache. Everyone enjoyed the hike and where amazed to find anything up here. We all signed the log and looked through the swag. All is in good condition. SL TFTC

3rd time is a charm!!! Went back up to this cache yet again this weekend. I couldn't find it but a friend finally did. We retrieved the Monkey Skull TB out of it and enjoyed the view and cool breeze of this location. The cache was in good condition, dry and serviceable. It survived another winter at the top of this mountain. TFTC
