A beautiful view of a beautiful creek/ walking trail in a beautiful part of the world! This cache is best accessed in the summer on a dry day. There are a few different ways to get form the main trail to the cache, but none of them are very easy. be careful if climbing around on exposed rocks or steep hillsides. Once there is a foot of standing snow, the cache will become very difficult to find, so best save this one for the other three seasons.

 

 


This is cache is in a very steep, exposed area. The cache is a 64 ounce plastic pitcher with a closeable lid. It wont be too hard to find once you get to it's location. Getting there requires some scrambling. Congrats to Discover11 and emorg99 on being the First ones to find this one!

Went way up, but wasn’t confident given the last few DNFs.

I climbed around for quite a while, but my GPS wouldn't zero in on the location. No matter where I stood, it was always 40' in another direction. I eventually had to give up.

I really love free climbing, especially for a cache and getting to the top of this wasn't too hard for me. Searched and searched, found one really good spot thatwas empty. Thanks for the fun climb at least!

Cache location is a bit off.

SPOILER: it is much higher than you may think....there's a little trail that leads up to it as opposed to climbing the rockside like I did.
