The cache is just under 2 miles up the French Pass Trail, off the Georgia Pass road. The trail follows French Creek and is relatively easy without much elevation gain. Views of nearby peaks, streams and wildflower filled meadows in the summer! Will require a hike or bike, as no motorized vehicles are allowed. Be sure and continue on the trail just downhill from the cache to the point where the trail crosses French Creek. It is a cool spot in the summer.

 

The cache is a large vitamin bottle covered in duct tape for protection. About 50-60 feet off the trail, it should be a pretty easy find with the hint. Please leave the container exactly as you found it.

There is an un-activated Signal FTF coin for the ftf..

Congratulations to sassydil for ftf!

 Hints

At the base of one of the few large rocks in the area. A small rock is on top of the container to hopefully prevent it from being carried off by the critters.

Couldn't believe that this has been dormant for the past 3 years.This in a great area with unreal views. We went to the top of the pass for lunch and then returned. Quick and easy find and the cache is still in great shape. TFTC SL

Thankful to have my bright orange puff coat on today; especially with the elk hunter positioned on the rocks uphill of this cache. TFTC.
