Geocache Description:

This time of year, basketball fans are eager to watch college teams compete in the annual NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship. Not me--this time of year my eyes are glued to the mountains instead of the television, looking for new trails and places to explore as Winter gives way to Spring. This ridgeline is just one of those places. It turned out to be one of my favorite hikes above Long Bench and North Ogden.

YELLOW is just a silly nickname having to do with the color of the Mardi Gras beads placed in the cache. It can be a fun reference also, as you climb the ridge. "How far to YELLOW?" you might ask. Good question, as it sits at 6,173 feet, about 930 feet higher than the Bonneville Shoreline trail.

The trail to YELLOW follows deer trails through a band of sparse scrub oak. Just follow the easiest path you can find, while trying to stick to the deer trails. The cache is at the top of a large rock formation which should be clearly visible as you ascend. It's a great place to sit and take in the expansive views this ridge has to offer.  Enjoy!
