| Difficulty: 1.5 out of 5

| Terrain: 4 out of 5

This cache overlooks the famed Sheep Creek Road near Gateway. Sheep Creek Road is a steep, rocky, and difficult shelf road. It's very passable with ATVs but gets progressively more difficult the larger the vehicle. Toward the top you'll find a small old cabin with some bedding inside, but I don't recommend planning to overnight there. To get to this cache, keep going on up the road until you reach the top, then hike over to the edge. The cache is under a rock overhang hidden by a couple of stones. If you look close from the cache area, you can see the cabin below next to the road, but it is hidden pretty well in the trees.
