This cache is on a hike were it is mostly steep and rocky. It will take you about an hour to get there. It is at an elevation of 8288 feet. It also has awesome views of Mount Sopris on one side and the Ruedi area on the other. I could get a ten foot accuracy.
This is my first cache that I have hidden so please give me feedback. This cache is a regular ammo box. Original contents are about 15 different Livestrong type bracelets and a waterproof camera to take pictures of you and the cache. Please try to bring a rubber bracelet to trade. It is also hidden in a bush. Happy chaching!

BigSmile Found this one with my 10-year old daughter and our dog Ajax. Great hike with great views at the top. Cache was fairly easy to find in a bush and my GPS got me within about 10 feet. Found a disposable camera inside and took a picture of my daughter Lily with the cache. We signed the register and Lily took a rubber bracelet and left a quartz crystal. Lots of other trinkets were also inside. We replaced the box in the same location and hope somebody else finds it soon! TFTC

Quick find but a strenuous hike. GPS seemed to be right on and the cache is in great shape. The last entry in the logbook was actually in 2010. I forget who and when exactly but anyway TFTC! Oh yeah, amazing views from up there.

I finally was able to make the hike here. There are some patches of ice and snow close to the top, but the rest was dry. TFTC SL.
