Lyons Peak Experience Traditional Geocache

This cache has been archived.

Marko Ramius: Groundspeak received a request from the property owner asking that this cache be archived. It is Groundspeak's policy to comply with all such requests. Accordingly, this cache is being archived and the cache owner is requested to avoid returning to this location.

By way of further explanation, the actual property where the cache is located appears to be part of the Cleveland National Forest. But all of the surrounding property, including all means of access (other than from the air by helicopter or parachute) does appear to be private property.

If the cache owner would like to submit evidence of explicit permission granting access to the cache, we will certainly consider that. But otherwise, I'm afraid I have little choice but to archive this listing.

Thank you for your understanding.

Geocache Description:

Ammo box, requiring a steep hike and moderate bushwhacking, some rock climbing near the cache at about 3450 feet elevation.

Climbing Lyons Peak has been something that was a challenging thing to do when I was 15. The east face of the mountain is a solid mass of rock and requires climbing through some clefts and some rocks.

Bring water, a walking stick, and watch for snakes while searching for this cache. The footing is not always firm, and there are places you will need to carefully choose a route around boulders and thick brush. The 2007 fire cleaned brush from the area so it should be passable for several years.

The valley below was a place for many young people to grow up in, moving on to seek adventures elsewhere yet never forgetting where they got started.

* Congratulations to Chuy! for taking the Lyons Peak challenge and getting the well earned FTF stash. *

I am putting a couple spoiler photos up. I want this to be found.
