Little Eagle's Nest Mountain Traditional Cache
Little Eagle's Nest Mountain
Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions
in our disclaimer.
Located on top of Little Eagle's Nest Mountain at 9390 ft. Back side of mountain is a grass covered slope that takes about thirty minutes to climb. You can park a car along the dirt road by the abandoned horse stables and climb from there.
To get to the cache, you will need to park your car along the dirt road off the highway (make sure to drive past the first cattle guard) and climb up the back side of the mountain (the steeper front side is private property.) The climb should be a somewhat long grass covered slope that takes about 20 to 40 minutes to climb depending on your physical condition. Once there, take a break and enjoy the great view of the valley.
Looking towards the highway:
Directly below is the Eagle's Nest cabin park where we have a cabin that we vacation in each year. At the bottom of the mountain to your right, the old wagon trains went thru the small cut between Little Eagle's Nest and the next mound. You can still see the wheel ruts crossing the fields and continuing up Seepage Creek Valley to your back right.
Looking to your left:
You will see Eagle's Nest Mountain. Named after the eagle's nest that is visible 1/3 the way down the cliff face from the higest point. The nest was a Bald Eagle's nest that is over 100 years old; unfortunately, it has been unoccupied for as long as anyone I know knows.
The cache contains a log book and was started with the following contents: a little plastic lizard, a little plastic green fish, a finger board, and a piece of amethyst found in Creede.
CONGRATULATIONS TO J&K FOR THE FTF.
