Geocache Description:

A HEADLAMP/ FLASHLIGHT IS NECESSARY TO FIND THIS GEOCACHE.

Please Take Note: The cache is located on the Swansea mountain. In order too get up the mountain you have too follow switchbacks on a road in very poor conditon. I dont recommend attempting this without a 4 wheel drive vehicle. Although alternativley, you can hike from the base of the mountain, as there is a parking area and a defined trail. ____________________________________________________________________________________ The cache is located deep in an ancient copper mine located not far from the upper Swansea mountain parking lot. The above coordinates will take you to the mines entrance which is located roughly 100 meters from the Swansea trailhead. The trail down to the mines entrance starts at N50 30.503 W115 57.026 (it's a little bit down the road from the parking lot)
Follow the trail around the switch-back and down to the opening, where the intrusion into the mountain will be obvious.
