Geocache Description:

Strenuous hike up Camelback Mountain.

Just a bison tube--the real cache is the fabulous view and the fact that you made it! It is at the Summit, and can be reached by at least 2 trails that I know of. We came up via the Echo Canyon trail. Coords for parking at that trailhead are N33 31.285 W111 58.433. This parking lot gets very busy, and often there is a wait to get a parking spot.

This is a HIGH traffic area, so please use caution while retrieving cache. You should be able to sit on rocks and casually retrieve it even when Muggles are in the area. Difficulty rating is only due to Muggle activity. It's really not hard to find, and the clue should help. WARNING--the pic is a Spoiler.

The hike is difficult, but there were many children doing just fine. My 13-year old came with to place the cache, and he was constantly having to wait for us. This will be a tough summer cache, except for those die-hard hikers who can stand the heat!
