Geocache Description:




Tabeguache Peak (14,155')- tab-a-watch. This mountain is in the Sawatch range named for a band of the Ute Indian tribe; name meant "cedar-bark sun-slope people."

The cache is a hard plastic, log and pen only container, and is hidden in a manner for summit survivability. What is "summit survivability"? On a 14er summit, a cache has to contend with an extra-ordinary amount of muggles and rodents. It also has to survive ever-changing rock formations from erosion and rock shelters. This cache is away from the 'summit area', behind a secure boulder, covered by a rusty colored rock. It should be easy for a cacher to find (and re-hide), yet hard for a muggle or rodent. It is located 25 feet at 270 degrees true from the summit register, on the path headed away from Mt. Shavano. Please view/print the images below, before beginning your hike!
