21. Mount Yale Traditional Geocache

This cache has been archived.

Tom.dog: I am removing certain geocaches that are physically degraded, that represent potential private property conflicts, or are preventing otherwise properly maintained geocaches from being hidden in "choice" locations. This is an effort to provide better maintenance and care for some of my other caches in Colorado as I prepare for a future in which visits to this region will become more sporadic.

Geocache Description:

Colorado 14ers series.


Colorado 14ers series.

Name: Mount Yale

Elevation: 14,196

Range: Sawatch

Rank in State: 21

As described by Wikipedia: “The importance of fourteeners is greatest in Colorado, which has the majority of such peaks in North America.” With that in mind, here is a series to celebrate the mountains we call “14ers.”

This series contains 53 caches, one placed for every ranked 14er in the state.

Please take time to enjoy the views and interesting locations that some of these caches bring you to.

Be sure to bring your own writing tool for each hide, please respect all cache areas, and replace everything just as you found it.

Please note that the road that this cache has been placed on is in poor condition. You will need a 4WD with high clearance for several weeks after any heavy rains. Lots of muddy dips and rocky gullies in places. I biked the road when placing these caches. This is a public service road to the power lines and agricultural fields that you see along the way. Please enjoy the area!

Have fun and good luck!
