 View downOhhhh, so close!  View up the mountainClose by :)  Located on Mount Evans. You will have to pay a fee to get in the park. It's a traditional cache at the end of the road of Mount Evans. Some people find it, some don't. Updated: 7/18 Ok, so here's the deal. Apparently it's really hard to find for some people. Other's find it right away. I think over the years some geochachers have hidden a 2nd chache. So there may be 2 in the area. If you find it, post some good pictures please. UPDATED: 7/31/2016 The cache has bee updated. I replace the container with a new one, a new log, pencil and the much coveted Cajuns in colorado geocoin. UPDATED: 05/07 Beware: This have been removed or sabatoged. If there are a few more DNFs I'll disable. UPDATE: 10/05 I had a few 'not found' logs so I took a trip up there and planted a new cache - same coordinates on 6/25/05. Again, I'm getting some NOT FOUNDS, but it seems that in the past once in a while someone would find it even with the not founds. SO: Look at it this way, if you are going to Mount Evans take a look, but don't plan a special trip. After the thaw, if I get more NOT FOUNDs, I'll disable. Park Rangers may be removing the cache. Good Luck **************************************************** I rated this a 2 becuase you have to climb over some rocks (no climbing gear, just good hiking shoes). Also, I think it might be a little hard to find considering the terrain. If I get 'easy' remarks, I'll change it. After a nice drive up the mountain, you'll have a small challenge to find the cache. There are a lot of people around, so be secretive! Think about the name and it'll get you in the general area. BONUS: You might see mountain goats, long horn sheep (ram) and assorted prarie dog looking creatures! There are also a couple of stops along the way with good hiking. Cache contains: 1. Log book and pen (please don't remove) 2. Silly putty 3. super balls 4. MOST IMPORTANTLY: Band Aids NOTE: There is no water or food on top, just a port-o-let style bathroom. IMPORTANT: Do not take elevation sickness lightly. It's almost 3 miles in the sky. Bring and drink WATER and some snacks. Good Luck!

UPDATED 7/31/2016 ****************** So, I think there are 2 caches, here. Someone placed a new one a few years back. If you find the cross, go up hill and to the left a bit. Supposedly there is another to the right, but I couldn't find it :) ************************ If you find a crucifix in the ground (a memorial for someone) you are about 25 feet away (guess the direction). Look for a rock with a 'knob' sticking out the top of it. It's hidden under a large rock, of course.
