Geocache Description:


The cache container is not at the posted coordinates, but I have no worries you will find your way to the summit to find it! Remember, the way up can be just as fun as standing at the summit. It's all in the ascent.

W. 104 FG.HIJ

As you figure out your route to the summit, it may be helpful to hear about expeditions others have taken: 

Euphemia decided on a trek up Snowmass Mountain's East Slopes, then bagged Mount Antero by climbing the West Slopes, and finished off her trip with a quick hike up Mount Elbert's Northeast Ridge. 

Genevieve traipsed up the Northeast Ridge of Mount Eolus. 

Ivan chose to navigate up the Northwest Slopes of Huron Peak. 

Camden made his way up the Northeast Ridge of Pyramid Peak and then decided on a difficult climb up the South Face of Sunlight Peak.

Amar shimmied up El Diente Peak's North Slopes. 

Darius jaunted up the South Ridge of Conundrum Peak.

Bella carefully traversed Crestone Needle via its South Face, followed by a stroll up Quandary Peak's East Ridge.

Jorie gingerly jogged up the Northeast Ridge of San Luis Peak, made it to the top of Mount Bierstadt by way of the West Slopes, and then ended her trip with a summit up the South Slopes of Mount Sneffels. 

Hamilton took his time up the South Slopes of Torreys Peak.

Felix meandered up Windom Peak by way of the West Ridge, and then did a scurry up Mount Lindsey through the Northwest Gully.

I think you are ready! So grab your trail mix, tie up those laces, fill your water bottle, and get started on your journey! 

 

 

This geocache is dedicated to my grandpa, who was an avid hiker and climber, and could still be seen on the trails in his 80's, and who I got to spend so much time with in the outdoors. My love of maps might be from him. :)
