On the Monarch Lake trail,Hiking from the west, cross the second bridge. Straight ahead -15 degrees left 25 feet uphill is a large rock. The cache is behind the large rock with lots of fallen logs on it.
Hiking from the west, cross Buchanan Creek which is the first bridge. A second bridge (two half logs)exist crossing the creek drainage during spring will be full of water. Here the trail turns south. Straight ahead is a slope. With the line of sight of the second bridge, 15 degrees left 25 feet uphill is a large rock with several logs that have fallen across the rock. The cache is behind the large rock. The cache is a quart size paint can with a can opener attached via a bungee cord. Inside the can is a log book, pencil, Sierra club wilderness survival cards, lego man on a horse, keychain, instant camera and a few other goodies. Take a few photos of yourself or the scenery. We'll post them eventually.

It started to rain pretty hard right when we got to the 1st big bridge and we went back to the car debating whether to wait it out. When the rain quickly subsided giving way to sunshine we decided to go for it. And I'm so glad we did! We did the whole loop and it was beautiful. We saw a moose munching on willow when we were about a mile from the cars by the avalanche area. Got great pics. Loved all the water crossings! Had the place almost all to ourselves. Amazing! I am so surprised more people have not logged the caches back here. We also had no reception so relied solely in co-ords to locate. After checking the cacje page later we realized that the co jas given one of the most detailed descriptions I have ever read! Thanks for adding to the fun by placing this cache.
