This cache is located up the old Ute Trail, otherwise known as the trail to the Gearhart Mine. The trail is steep, with loose shale along most it. Watch your footing, bring lots of water, take your time and enjoy the veiws! (Don't focus on the steepness of the trail). UPDATE - The cache is now a "Natural" 35 mm film cannister. You will need to bring a writing utensil, no room any more for pencils or swag.
Woo Hoo, you've made it to the third and last cache in this series. This one is about 3/4 of the way up the hill to the top and the "Ute's Lookout" cache. This cache is just off the trail to the west. It could be in that nook or over in that cranny or maybe that cranny or over in the other nook??????? Rest up, after this one the trail gets a little easier and then the very last portion you'll encounter some loose shale. But your so close to the top, don't give up now :0)

CONGRATULATIONS to Pauleefox for the FTF!

 Hints

Tucked in a nook/cranny, just out of sight. Try looking on the west side, eyeball high if your about 6 foot! It is now protected by a RED sandstone shield.

Found this one with a couple of kids that wanted to go up to the mine. We didn't make it all the way up because it was going to rain. The last place I want to be is on the side of a mountain when it is raining. Nice little container. TFTC

Wow, that nook is much smaller than I expected. At least there is a nice seat nearby to enjoy the fantastic view. Thanks.
