The second in a 7-cache series leading up to the "High Point" cache.

If you follow the High Point Route series to get up there, you'll do about about 1.25 miles of bushwhacking and rock scrambling.  Just a mile?  You'll earn every step. For each subsequent cache in the series, follow a direct bearing from the previous one.

A suggested route, if you're up for a nice bushwhack:

Small camo'd container containing a log and a coin from the quaint and far-off land of Canada.  BYOP!

Thanks for this great series of geocaches. Barasaur, Thomas, and I set out to work through this series as well as attended a mountaintop meet and great. (That's how its done in Colorado)

For future finders of this series:
there is no trail
the terrain is rough
it took us 5 hours to cover two miles
it is all worth it

While I like all aspects of geocaching from time to time, this is my favorite. Just hiking, enjoying the scenery, and then getting a smiley while hanging out with friends.

Memfis Mafia, my son Thomas, Lucy the geodog and I headed out to find the lonely caches at the top. Some of these caches have not been found in 4 years. No trails, cross country all the way. Every step earned both going in and getting back out. Every cache worth the fun. Thanks Trigger for the gorgeous views on this trek.

We could not find this cache and put out a replacement.

This was certainly a great spot to catch our breath. The way up here was just a preview for what was in-store.
