Geocache Description:

Cache hidden on a small mountain to the North of Cripple Creek, Colorado.

This cache is an ammo can with an orange lid. The best place to park is at the Gold King Mountain Inn on the North East side of town. From there, look to the NW and the closest hill to you, that is the one you need to head towards. There is an old rusty bus sitting on this hill as well. I have no idea how it got there. Looks as if it's been there for years. Bring some water, good shoes, and pants. Watch out for big holes. From the Holiday Inn, the Cache is about .4 miles away. Not too far. The altitude at Cripple Creek is just below 10,000 feet. I'm from Oklahoma and had I climbed the same hill here, I would have been fine, but I thought my lungs were going to explode climbing this hill. Good luck and once you find it, relax and enjoy the wonderful view of the Rockies and Cripple Creek!
