Warning

Please note: To use the services of geocaching.com, you must agree to the terms and conditions in our disclaimer.

This virtual cache is the highest point of Bernalillo County. It has year-round vehicle access (fee for a parking permit) and a very short walk to the HP area. The altitude is 10,678 feet. On a clear day, the views are spectacular.
In order to claim this cache, you will need to gather the following information from the signs at the HP area and email it to me (don't post it on the cache site!):

1 - On the sign titled "SANDIA CREST view" what are the large words at the top and bottom of the oversized arrow pointing west?

2 - On the sign titled "SANDIA CREST Wild Flowers" how many actual photographs of flora are there?

3 - On the sign titled "WATER FROM THE WILDERNESS" where are the "Cibola National Forest" and "US Forest Service" logos located?

You may also wish to post a photo of yourself with the summit cairn, but please do not post photos of the signs. Whether you reach this cache by auto, tram, or trail, enjoy the area and the views!
