Off the Crags trail, elevation at 10480ft. Based on feedback, we moved the cache 7/4/2008 just a bit to avoid the slippery gravel spot. New coordinates were posted on afternoon of 7/4, and left a message at the old spot to direct you if you don't read this before you search the next few days. [7/5/08])
Blue Tupperware stands out among the rocks, but not in plain sight. Easy to find once you make the hike to the general vicinity, so children should be able to help. Terrain rating due to high altitude and a short steep climb.

Fun cache after a beautiful hike!

Wow this was a breathtaking hike!

The first part of the trail (and first cache) were breathtaking as well, but that just meant challenging for this couple from MN where the elevation was a mere 900 feet!

But the views after the first cache to this one (and after) were amazing!

Wish we would have seen the meadows in full bloom! But those peaks in the distance are what kept us going!

Loved seeing the big storm clouds building behind us. Maybe that's what kept the trail so quiet today! Those building storms!

Thanks for the adventure!

TFTC I joined AllenMabry for a bit of caching in the Crags area. It is a sunny cool day.
We missed this one on the way up so stopped on our way back down.
