Black Mesa Overlook Series

Take a scenic drive over Black Mesa on Highway 92 and check out the overlooks that allow you to see the north rim of the upper black canyon.

This series of geocaches will take you to the main overlooks and allow you to do some sightseeing and geocaching at the same time. Great views and and wildlife abound.

This second one is at the rest stop and trail head for Hermit's Rest overlook. Make sure to take some pics of the views. Happy Hunting!

Waste of time. A hint would be nice

New CO to me, so I wasn't sure what style of hide to look for. Gave it a good long search and spread out all around to no avail. May be gone, or maybe the coords are off, or just maybe a bit harder than a 2.0. Nothing obvious here. Nothing like the one down the road where I went next.

Because of no hint and the GPS jumping around, I could even determine which side of the trail the might be on.

I encourage “Leave No Trace” geocaching in non-urban settings. Geocaches not easily reached from established trails result in searches that create new “social” trails. That disturbs and can damage the natural areas we all enjoy. Please place geocaches keeping this in mind. Even placements that can be reached from trails do not necessarily prevent off-trail trampling during searches. Well thought-out hints can help prevent such unnecessary damage of the lands we enjoy.

LolosDream and I made the drive out to attempt to be first. Knowing there was plenty of snow that has fallen since this one was placed we were hoping we could find it. We looked all up in the tree that was at GZ, no dice. So we started sweeping the snow away from the ground hoping to find it....also no dice. Lots of hiding places under the snow. I’ll keep this one on a watchlist and give it another go here in a few days. Thanks for the amazing views with the snow covered canyon and water below.
