This geocache is at the end of a short hike up a nice little hill. There are many old mining pits, so watch your step when you find the cache.

The cache is a large pill bottle that is under a rock next to a dead aspen that can fit small trackables and swag. HAPPY CACHING!

All is well w/this cache, except I would say the terrain rating is higher. I live on the side of Pikes Peak, hike in summer & ski in the winter. Yes, I went straight up the mtn through the aspens following the Garmin line so maybe there was a trail that would have made easier access. SL & brought the t.b. down to move during the Planetary Pursuit by HQ.

Under A rock next to THE dead Aspen. Haha. Apparently none of y'all looked for this cache in November! I'll have to try again.

A great little hike with a few history placards placed along the way, to make stretching the legs all the more interesting. Snow may make this one a bit more challenging, but there was little to none for me today, and I made the find quickly and easily -- after the short hike, that is. SL, and dropped off a trackable.
TFTC !
