Too much GPS bounce and didn't know what I was looking for exactly because I couldn't get service. My fault...im sure I walked all around It! Ate my snack and since I live around here I will be back soon. Don't you just love the Gore Range?

Thanks for the great cache! Visiting with family on a gorgeous day. This cache is just the right distance to do a little hiking for families to go explore and see some amazing views. I like to take friends and family to this location.

I also got some gps bounce. Thanks to your good clue, I was able to find the cache! It is in good shape. I will make it a favorite! It was a beautiful day to hike and this was the best spot on the trail. We didn't have time to go up to Ute Peak. That will be for another day. Thanks for the cache!

Got back to the parking spot after doing the one across the road and discovered that this one was not that far. Definitely up, though,. Spent considerable time looking for this one--I suspect severe signal bounce. When I found it, my GPSr showed 26' from GZ, but by the time I signed the log and tucked it away, GPSr was showing 5'. Absolutely stunning view--thanks for bringing me here and TFTC!
