A relatively short but steep climb up from the Crow Gulch trailhead to a rocky promontory.

This is purported to be Bigfoot’s favorite picnic spot. It’s said he and Mrs Bigfoot come up here often with their picnic basket and enjoy great views of the Pikes Peak country while they dine. If you get here and they are having their picnic, just introduce yourself and ask if you may join them - they will almost certainly offer to share what they have.

You’ll be looking for a painted preform tube on the very top.

The Pikes Peak Toll Road is open year-round, weather permitting.
Hours of Operation: October 1 to the Friday prior to Memorial Day weekend - 9 a.m. - 3 p.m. (Visitors must be off the mountain by 5:00 p.m.)
Friday Prior to Memorial Day Weekend through Labor Day - 7 a.m. - 7 p.m.
After Labor Day through the last day of September - 7 a.m. - 5 p.m.
(*Hours subject to change without notice.)

Found it. It was actually laying out in the open ground and not under rocks so I will scoot over just a tiny bit more besides some rocks and it would give it some protection, tftc and the great workout. And I guess I’ve lost all my pens so I took a picture of the front page of the log instead.

After finding the Bigfoot multi, 2Sloths and I decided to press on up the hill. I have to admit the 2.5 hrs we spent on the summit and the heat of the day took its toll on me, but I stayed hydrated and followed 2Sloths up to the top. It was well worth it with the final views of Pikes Peak from below. The cache was quickly found and we decided that that would be it for the day and headed back to the car and on to Denver for the next leg of our vacation. Go Broncos!

Oh my goodness that was so incredibly hard. Only a 3 terrain? Maybe our PA lungs just aren't used to the CO mountains. Yeah, that's it lol. We arrived at Pikes Peak early afternoon and the road was closed at mile 13 due to fog and ice. No summit = no rush. We climbed up here straight from the Big Foot (rock) multi. Beautiful view from GZ. Not surprised this cache hadn't been visited since Aug 2015. Thanks for the smiley!
