Geocache Description:

Burning Bush will take your breath away. At 7753 feet, there isn't too much anyway but once you recover from the short hike, you'll get the same feeling as on a roller coaster. Hang in there, you'll be well rewarded.

This cache is relatively easy to get to (but I highly recommend you don't take young children unless harnessed to a focused adult). This is semi-wilderness so everyone must think/act predictably. Please do not endanger yourself while hunting this. If you are correctly locating the cache, you will feel safe! (Don’t hang over or reach over cliffs, please!) One more warning, don’t even go after this if there is snow, as the level changes to a 6/6 (and 5/5 is the max).

Take something to write with and TAKE A CAMERA! You’ll kick yourself if you capture some pictures of your adventure as there are three lakes and miles of wilderness that you can see from the cache area. Water is ok to take too. The micro cache is in plain sight and a full roll of quarters could fit in it if it was empty so only bring small items. No ropes are needed... again, if you feel unsafe, you're doing it wrong.

Start in the parking lot. Stay on the trail which leaves the lake at N38 28.625, W119 59.570. The coordinates were taken above the cache with a +/- 10.5 feet using nine satellites (all full strength!) and the cache altitude corrected to 7753.

The cache has been replaced and slightly relocated. It's much more likely to be found by a cache and hopefully safer from muggles. It's in plain sight if you're standing at the correct location.

Once the cache has been found, please notice how to replace it BEFORE you take it! Log only your cacher name and the date. In the cache, you will find a Geo-note, log sheets, Digifish #1432, Checker'd Personal Coin (for trade), and a Marble.

Be safe and have a wonderful trip.

WINTER INSTRUCTIONS:

Look before you go... if the pass isn't open, the cache isn't reachable. Even then, the road could be clear when the cache is still covered in snow. At a minimum, make sure you can drive there (via Hwy 4). Click HERE for current Road Report.
