Geocache Description:


Was visiting "Top of the World" cache and we decided to drive a little farther up this road until it dead-ended!
What a vantage point - among the granite bolders we look down into the valley and see a huge natural arch! Now we have to place a cache here! Luckily I had a large camo pill bottle ready for the occasion...
I would probably not attempt this in the summer.
The road up here starts harmlessly enough from the windmill off 17 mile road. You stay on the main road that borders the Arrastra Mountain Wilderness and then turn left up to these volcanic plugs.
OK - from here up I STRONGLY suggest quads (or atv). Jeep can get you pretty close (1/4 mile) hike - but I would never take my Jeep up to the end - one spot is scary enough for some of the group on a quad - especially considering how remote you are out here!
The find will require a scramble up a giant boulder - not too crazy, just watch your step!
So, if you can make it out here... you'll love the view and the cool un-named arch (I've only found a couple of these that I didn't know about before)!
