You'll find this cache across Ranch Creek from the old cabin ruins. I'm sure the occupants of  these cabins enjoyed golden views of the surrounding aspen forests in the fall, and perhaps a little gold to those who searched for it.

Out picking up a few caches along with GotWine. She said, Oh lets do that cache, it's only a mile up that dirt road. Don't believe your wife when she can't read a GPS! Steep, rocky climb in 4 wheel drive. Terrain rating a little low. Made it to the top, looked around a bit at the cabins, made a quick find of the cache. Didn't expect it would be here after almost 2 year. It is in good shape. Started the trek down. 10,702 feet at top and 9,366 feet at bottom in a little over 1 mile. Thanks for the adventure.

Woo Boy, what a ride! In the area picking up a few caches along with John4x4. Didn't look that bad from the road until we got started. Steep and rocky, thought the difficulty rating a little low, but then I was a passenger, not the jeep driver. When we finally got to the top, the cabins were a little run down and in need of Fixing Up for sure. Found the cache pretty quick and is in good shape for being there all sad and lonely for almost 2 years. Cache elevation was 10,702 feet. Now for the trip down. Thanks for the views and for the smiley face.

Jeeping in the area with some friends. Good thing I had help as this was about 33 feet from where my GPS had me looking. The hint was helpful. TFTC

Knew I would be in the area for the 4x4 event, so was glad to see that this had been found recently. Yes, it was quite the steep and loose hill, and I thought of BackCountryHorseman's poor pony on the way! Found cache after a little GPSr bounce and was on my way. TFTC
