Geocache Description:

You are looking for a clear plastic container about 4x4x7. It's big enough for coins and some trackables.



On a clear day you can see more than 66 miles from here. On the day I hid the cache I could see Mount Princeton which is 67.5 miles from the cache. The picture above is courtesy of ernie66 who got a much better shot than I did. Mount Princeton is one of the Collegiate Peaks in the Sawatch Mountain Range west of Buena Vista. As soon as I realized what we were looking at the cache name sprang to mind.

The main trail into the area crosses the corner of a piece of private property. The boundary is clearly marked. DO NOT enter private property. At the boundary you will need to leave the trail and go west for about 500 feet. You can then go north to the top of the ridge and rejoin the trail.

You can no longer park at the trailhead. I have updated the waypoints with new parking coords that should work.
