North out of Silverton on Hwy 550 about 2 miles turn west and go 4 miles to South Mineral Creek Campground. There is parking for the trail to Ice Lake Basin just north of the campground. This will be about a 4 mile hike in and about 2500 feet elevation to the cache up a well mantianed trail.
Ice Lake Basin has three lakes above 12,000 feet. Ice lake, Fuller lake, Island lake and several small unnamed lakes. Great views and good fishing in all the large lakes. This is above timberline so a summer only cache and dress accordinly. The cache is hidden on the trail to Island lake (the prettiest of the 3). The Island Lake trail starts about 200 yards downstream on the Ice lake outlet. The cache is in a plastic jug. It contains a fishing lure, fishing flies, water bubble and some other stuff. (I brought a fishing cache up here but not my pole, bummer) If you have been to Blue lakes cache, You will love this one.
