Geocache Description:

Bisbee Buddha Cave

Bring your own pen or pencil. This cache is not in the cave. The cache is 35 feet to the right of the cave under some rocks that have fallen away from the slope above. See the hint for more exact details. The coordinates will bring you to the exact location of the geocache. The Buddha cave has recently been spruced up. Please post one picture of your visit to the cave showing an up-close detail of something you like. Be creative.

This is a fantastic location that even many of the locals don't know about.  It's just above old Bisbee with some great views. The absolute best way to get to this cache is to first park your car in one of the main lots in Bisbee. Then walk up "OK" street to the trailhead coordinates listed. Trailhead N 31° 26.712 W 109° 54.756 Follow the trail generally in a Southerly direction for about a tenth of a mile to the cache. The trail has some of the best views in Bisbee. Stop to take lots of pictures as you go. This trail is an absolute gem.

The cache is next to the Buddha cave but not in it. The Buddha cave is fun to explore. It's only about 10 feet deep with a Buddha shrine inside.  Please post one picture of your visit to the cave showing an up close detail of something you like.  Feel free to leave something appropriate with the shrine.

To return, head down any of the sets of steps you passed on your way to the shrine or the steps in front of the shrine. There are a total of 4 access stairways you can use coming up from OK street. They are all fun to explore. From here, there is a trail up to the top of the "B" mountain if you are feeling to continue upward.

Please keep your conversations and noises to a low level since the trails and stairs go by people's homes.

Please hide the cache well again and watch for muggles.
