Use the Phi Kappa trail to access this cache. There is a road to this location but I recommend Atv's, horse, or foot travel. The altitude for this cache is 8090 ft.
The Phi Kappa mine was discovered in 1885 and was in operation on and off until 1981. The total recorded production for the mine between 1926 and 1981 is 32,912 tons of ore. This yielded 35 ounces of Gold, 53,537 ounces of Silver, 118,268 pounds of Copper, 1,017, 889 pounds of Lead and 846,910 pounds of Zinc. Remember this is a mine and can be dangerous so please be careful and have fun! Watch out for stinging nettle too!
