Park at the trailhead located at
N 40 36.624'
W 111 47.292'
Look for the Water Tank above the homes.
It is recommended that you follow the ridgeline that is the south
rim of Ferguson canyon. Locate the LDS chapel across Wasatch Dr.
and use it as a landmark to remain west of yourself throughout the
hike. The trail appears and disappears, but you should be able to
pick up several animal trails. Wear long sleeves to avoid tree
branches and tick bites (I found two ticks on myself). The cache is
on top of the hill directly west of the Hound's Tooth. There is a
meadow in a depression between the Hound's Tooth and the hill.
(There is a large teepee made of wood about 300 yards SE of the
cache, down in the low part of the meadow.) Elevation gain is 1833
feet from the parking area. Bring lots of water and enough food to
keep you going. Elevation of the cache is 7134 feet. Make sure
there are no more hills or slopes between yourself and the Hound's
Tooth, and that you are able to view the complete west face of the
structure.
The cache is in a mid-size ammo box and started with the following
items:
Log book with pencil and sharpener
Simpsons Trivia game
2 bags of marbles
wood glider plane
3 mini-sport balls (you know, for kids!)
2 new kazoos
1 large bouncy ball
some fish
American flag sticker
Enjoy the hike and the view and bring something nice to put in
the cache!
