There is a fee to access Pikes Peak (unless you hike up).
You can find out about fees here: * Hours and Fees *
Disclaimer: Subject to Change

BearAdair's first fourteener was Pikes Peak on September 26, 2019. She was able to grab almost all of the geocaches on the summit, as well as the event and CITO held there that day. She ended up with an 8 icon day! Phred was watching her log her geocaches, and got all pouty that there was no litter box! He kept bugging me until I decided to help him hide one so that everyone could enjoy another high elevation cache type.

This is a LETTERBOX HYBRID so please do not remove the stamp. It is a self-inking stamp, but it gets really cold up here so you may want to bring your own ink pad. At the posted coordinates, you will be using a sign recognizing the notable career of Zebulon Montgomery Pike to gather information to solve for the final location.

A = How many words are on the second line?
B = How many words are on the fourteenth line?

F = On the tenth line, what is the fifth number?
G = How many syllables are in the first word of the eigthth line?

{TTF} I think
Yes it was an adventure. The way to the Final was full of snow.
On the first try, I'm a bit through the snow, which is still knee high. But better not further. Who knows what is under the snow and how deep it will get. Better back to the car...
Oh no, I have to go there now!
So second try. Sometimes the snow reached my waist and I did it. Yeah.
Thanks for the nice puzzle and letterbox. Fav in.

Thanks for the new geocache on Pikes Peak! I helped BearAdair beta test this for Sissadies. Now that it has been found, congrats hartsdale, we can log it.

We had some fun playing in the snow while she placed this one.

Adding a fave for the memories.

Congrats to hartsdale for the FTF!

I helped animjason beta test this for Sissadies when it was placed. Phred was happy to see a found log! I loved coming up here, and have been twice now. I will try Mount Evans next. It will be a few years before I do a hiking one so mama and dada don't have to carry me the whole way.

Thanks for the cache Sissadies, and Phred!

FTF!

This a very special day for me, because 12years ago today I got my first GPS and headed out and found GCPDKA and two others for day one, my wife had to do all the typing, I had no typing skills whatsoever.

So anyway, with this FTF gives me 12 years straight with at least one a month.

This one was fun to collect the information to solve the puzzle.

OK back to the hunt, I was hiking, no trudging through a foot or more of snow to get to GZ that completely covered over, so I had to dig ?? and there it is.....

I dropped three trackables and grabbed one and of course the prize,
