Geocache Description:


Mt Garfield Challenge #2
Grand Junction, Colorado


A strenuous Hike
(about another 2/3 mile hike and another 400' or so climb from #1)
dirt & rock hiking path



Read the information & look at the pictures from Mt Garfield #1. If you made it to there, the hike to this one really isn't bad. It's abit more level and there are rocks and things to grab on to as you climb & descend. It should take you about the same time or less to get to #2.

Hope you still have water left. Rehide the GPS as it will not be needed til the next plateau.

The geoacache is NOT off the edge! ..you should be able to log the geocache sitting looking at the view!

The container is a cammo-painted Ammobox. Initial contents are: logbook, pens, pencil, & Geocache paper & miscelleous trading items. It started out with a water..so if you need it..refresh.

Please rehide the cache as well as you found it..if you have time, finish the trip to the top of Mt Garfield, it is well worth it!!
