THREE CACHES ON UTE Can't find the name of this mountain on any map,the benchmark at the top is UTE. This is right next door to Saxon Mountain, and has somehow managed to be cache 'nekkid.' Well, no more. Cache #1 is the Tower cache. Very nearby is a tall tower that collects weather information. Cache #2 is in a field of bristlecone pine stumps - very cool, and Cache #3 is near the summit. Find the summit, and find the UTE benchmark, and the summit log hidden in a rock pile.Park in the large area here, than hike up and find the others. But make sure you take a reading where your vehicle is - every time that I have been up this mountain, I have managed to get a little disoriented. Not sure why.
Each way you look here, there are spots of beautiful old bristlecone pine tree stumps. Stumps of trees that have been shaped by wind and weather. Now, they just age. When they age, they turn some pretty cool colors. This is the Two Trees because if you look uphill, you will see two trees pointing to the sky.
06/17/2017 By youkfish These three were my goal for the day. My stock F-150 made it almost to the top, but was stopped by a snow drift that I later plowed through to turn around. Short climb up to this one and I spent some time searching for this one, but finally made the find and signed the log. Very cool, old trees and stumps around this area. Cache is in good shape. Cheers!
