Geocache Description:

From this mountain top you can see for what seems like forever.  It is truly "breathtaking" for a couple of reasons;  (1) the view makes you feel like you are on top of the world, and  (2) it's over 9,000 feet in elevation (gasp)! 


Francis Peak and its towers have looked down on me for 40 years now.  For the last five years, I have been looking up there and thinking, "Man, that has got to be a good place for a Geocache".   Well, I finally made good on my wishes and put one up there today.  UsLaynes and Jose went up with me and we found a pretty good spot.  It should last for hundreds of years there.

If you feel inclined to, go ahead and break out into singing.  I left the words to the song "High on the Mountain Top" in the cache to help you.  Share with us a picture of you singing with the beautiful vista in the background.   cheeky

I suggest that you take the cache container down off of its holding spot BEFORE opening it. Otherwise, all of its contents will fall out into the sticker bushes!

Please place the container back in the same place you got it from.

PLEASE … DO NOT TIGHTEN THE LID! Leave the lid just a little loose. Otherwise, the next Geocacher won't be able to open it. Thanks … "TUG"... (TheUtahGardener)

UPDATE on HOW TO GET THERE: There is now a big heavy gate blocking the road to the last 100 yards to the actual towers. So to get to the cash, you have to drive or hike on a narrow ATV / UTV trail just AROUND THE EAST SIDE OF THE TOWERS.
