Geocache Description:

Barry Jones originally wrote: Not far from the Sierra Butte Lookout. Cache is within 15 feet of the trail. 100 mile views.

There's a couple of different ways to approach the Sierra Buttes when the roads are clear. You can park at the Sierra Butte and enjoy a nice hike of moderate slope. Or if you're particularly brave, you can drive your vehicle up the steep road to the parking area and have a much shorter walk. Honestly, the hike is worth it. Follow the trail until you're nearly at the top. You'll then have three flights of stairs to ascend. The first two aren't too bad for those that suffer a tad bit of vertigo. The last one has relatively wide gaps between steps (to minimize snow accumulation) — if you suffer vertigo, you may want to rethink this cache. Once you arrive at the lookout, be very careful! One miss-step and you may be flying. You're looking for a small ammo-can. Please try to hide as best as possible to prevent muggles from being tempted to toss the container over the edge — my theory for the original container that looked like this:

Enjoy the views, enjoy the history and be safe.
