Geocache Description:


A unique Fizzy Filler D/T combo!  The end of the line, the top of Mount Pence!  There is a nice big pulloff which offers plenty of parking off of Squaw Pass road. This cache involves a farily short under 3 miles roundtrip hike to the top of Mount Pence, but it also includes almost a thousand feet in elevation change.  There really ins't an official trail per se, so you will have to deal with some route finding and some bushwacking involved but nothing crazy.  It's just a steady climb up, up, up and the final few hundred feet someone has marked the trail with blue and red tape.  The payoff at the end is some PRETTY SPECTACULAR VIEWS, as well as a few other interesting things going on up here! You are searching for an large overized bison tube.   PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE mark your car positon or use the other caches (in a straight line) as breadcrumbs/waypoints back down, it's really easy to get turned around up here, and the faint trails branch off and will get you turned around quick!  As always with caching in the mountains your GPS will be a little bit crazy, please make sure you have great footware, plenty of water and a rain jacket.  The weather can really be a factor up here, so start your hike early to avoid afternoon Thunder storms. Happy Hunting, enjoy your views take some pictures!
