On Mt. Baldy in Breckenridge is an old mine called the Tommy Mine.
New Update 9/30/2022: Replaced the cache with nex box. Now that I am 50 it was a much harder hike. Our smaller AWD GMC Terrain could NOT make it past a few spots. The original Cache was place in 2010! At Boreas Pass and Golden View Rd there is a dirt road that heads up Mt. Baldy. You can hike this up to old Tommy Mine. It is a 2 hour hike up a good road to the top. To make life easier, you can drive a truck (better with 4wd) up to the very top. It has switchbacks and its pretty moderate driving. Make sure you have a full tank of gas. The slope makes the car think the gas tank is empty!! Our family drove up past the old original mine structure (large wooden shaft structure). You will have one of the best views of 10 mile range and Breckenridge. The cache is hidden at a small wooden entrance to an old mine shaft. It is NOT at the large original mine shaft structure. The mine entrance we hid it at only comes about a foot or two off the ground. Only 3 sides of the wooden shaft entrance are left.
