This geocache is for someone that likes to bushwack a little. You will not be near any marked trail in the area. A true wilderness setting. I placed it here because I always likes this spot. Below to the south are several natural springs, and there are always elk, grouse and other critters near by to keep you company. Name comes from the song "Rocky Mountain HIgh"

Easiest approach to this location is from the south and east. The first person to find it gets a little reward, enjoy. Remember, it is the journey that counts not the destination. I don,t recommend attempting this cache in the winter unless you are an experienced backcountry traveler. In the summer beware of lightening. Be ready for a steep but non-technical assent. It took me a little less than 2 hours to get there on foot.

I made it! I have fortitude!
I actually came over from Slide Lake so it was a bushwhack almost all the way. I think I'm going to bushwhack all the way back to my truck too but it won't be as hard as getting here.
The wind was howling on the final approach and it was raining just hard enough to make me consider my raincoat but just as I reached the cache the wind completely fell off and the sun came out. No kidding! A casual reply, indeed!
This is a hard enough cache that I had one on you, Jason, and left a different kind of one for the next person. Non-liquid.
I actually didn't know what I was going to do today besides meander up to Slide Lake and then I remembered I had saved this geocache on my iPhone app. It turned into a great adventure. Thanks!
Tired now.
