Located over 3/4 of the way up the backside of Flattop.
This is the most frequently climbed mountain in Alaska and probably
the most frequently hiked trail. Although it is over 1000ft
elevation gain it is a common family hike with some brave and
strong locals climbing Flattop daily as part of their exercise. A
definate 'must' for anyone visiting Anchorage.
There are two common approaches to the top - the cache is
located from the 'backside' but it can be easily accessed by going
up and over from the main parking area.
Head uphill on O'malley rd to Hillside. Take a right on Hillside
and comtinue to Upper Hufman road. Signs guide you most of the way.
This is hike 29 from '55 ways..' Word of caution: the weather
changes rapidly on the mountains and as benign of a peak as it may
seem - someone inevitably gets hurt or killed every winter because
of Avalanches.

September 9 by E3Chief (35 found) I went back to this one this afternoon and finally found it! I looked the other day for over 20 minutes. Today, I walked right to it. Awesome spot! I love Flat Top! I took nothing, left nothing, and forgot my pen, so I didn't sign the log. I'll post some pics I took later though!
[view this log] | September 6 by E3Chief (35 found) I searched for this one for 20 minutes. My GPS said I was standing right on top of it. I searched the area thoroughly and found nothing. I wonder if it's there any more?
[view this log] | September 3 by StraySpirit (75 found) Absolutely beautiful location - I have never been on this side of Flattop! Hunted for 45 minutes - and quite thoroughly... we've missed finding caches before but are suspicious that this one is not there anymore. Will look again next time we are on a Flattop trek :) StraySpirit~*
