Geocache Description:


Mountaintop View

On my way to my 400th find I came across this amazing view.

Nothing really here, but the view from the top is unbelievable.
Looking East from atop Irons Mountain toward Collier Mountain, North and South along the Mountain ridges and into the Valleys below. Stop a minute to take in the view before grabbing this quick cache and dash.
