Geocache Description:


Cache is NOT at the posted coordinates.

As is normal for Phoenix in the height of summer, it's in the triple digits. At times like these our thoughts turn to snowy peaks, green meadows, forests, spectacular mountain views, and temperatures at least 30 degrees cooler. 

Use the following mountain peaks to calculate the location of this cache. Unfortunately, due to the 2-mile rule, you won't find yourself in Alaska or Colorado. But, you'll enjoy solving a mystery and getting another cache!

North: Whetstone Mountain, Specimen Mountain, Mount Elbert, Mount Harvard, Mount Evans, Mount Strickland

West: North Palisade, Capitol Peak, Longs Peak, Mount Yale, Mount Alverstone, Bald Mountain


You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
