The cache is located within sight of the near the upper terminal of the Mt. Roberts Tramway. The purpose of this cache is to get you outside and active. If accessing from the tram, it is a short walk down the trail and then its off the trail just a bit. Minor bushwacking. You are looking for an unexpected item that conceals the cache container.
TWO OPTIONS TO ACCESS THIS CACHE - TRAM or TRAIL:
1) Ride the Mount Roberts Tram. This will get you to 1,745 feet. It will cost $55.00 for an adult, $40.00 for youth 3-13, and 2 and under ride free (2024 prices). The tram is open May through September. Note: No dogs on the tram.
2) Hike the Mount Roberts Trail from the trailhead on Basin Road. The trail is very well established and is popular. Can be muddy. Steady switchbacks help with the elevation gain. Stay on the main trail to reduce erosion from short-cuts. Plan on 60 minutes to 80 minutes to reach the cache. Spend $15 at the restaurant/bar/gift shop and ride the tram down for "free" (a cold beer or two from the Alaska Brewing Co. is my choice). Keep your receipt, the tram crew check.
