This is up on The Alpine Tunnel Road. It is a small on the side of the road. There is a small place to pull over but the road is pretty narrow the last three miles. I made the terrain a 2.5 because of this. I could only get 26 ft accuracy because of the big cliff. The picture posted is your hint. CubBoy is standing right above it.
WOW!! Do not forget your camera this 4x4 trip is totally worth it. Have so much fun and enjoy the scenery.
My hands are still sore from the tight grip I had on the steering wheel, LOL!!

Great scenery! Must either walk or have a dirt bike. We had a dirt bikes so it was relatively easy to get to. Trail is still closed to 4 wheel vehicles. Be careful riding past the rockslide part, it is only 3 feet wide or so.

So we tried to get up to the Alpine Tunnel area (and this cache as well) in a 4x4 vehicle and found that the road has been blocked off (right at the u-turn to head up) by the forest service as apparently a rock slide has taken out a portion of the road a mile or so up the road. You are encouraged by a sign to turn around now before there is no room to when you get to the road damage. I will include a picture of the blockade. We really wanted to get up here! Angry

TFTC I came with DustyKat after a pre-dawn start from Woodland Park on our way to the high country to find a few caches we needed for various challenges. We came across this one of yours and had to stop for it. All was in good shape. Thanks for another fine cache and the Smiley face on the map.

Stopped on our way up to the west tunnel display. Quite the breathtaking view from this spot. Huggle (husband muggle) grabbed this one for me. GPS reading was right on.
