Warning

Please note: To use the services of geocaching.com, you must agree to the terms and conditions in our disclaimer.

Another "national treasure" that is worth the effort of visiting! No traditional caches could be placed here because of security--but this one is worth the effort.
To get to this cache, you’ll have to pay admission to this site of $19.00, but I believe there are discount passes available. From start to finish it may take you 2 hours. This is a definite “must-do” for visitors in the city who have never visited this site. Many visitors have highly recommneded renting the AUDIO TOUR that is available for an additional $7.00 (I also highly recommend you use "Tony"--worth every penny) ENJOY!

Here is what you need to do to log this cache:

  • Find the coordinates.
  • Use the “tool” at the coordinates to “find” two additional national landmarks from this vantage point.
  • E-mail me back privately with your answer.
Don't post answers here even if encrypted. AND Lastly ( I shouldn't even have to say this...)NO "VIRTUAL VISITS" ALLOWED! You may only log this cache if you actually physically visit this national treasure landmark.

I am always amazed at the view from here atop all that Indiana limestone. Glad to see another ghost still alive and well. TFTC

I've always wanted to visit this place but every time I've come before, the wait has been two or more hours long. Mrs. D and I were in town this week with our niece and we decided to give the line another try. We arrived between 6 and 7pm and found that there was no line at all! We went straight up and spent some time gazing in all directions. If I remember to, I'll post some pictures later. Still can't believe there wasn't a line. Emailed the owner with answers. Thanks!
