Geocache Description:

A unique and very neglected hilltop overlook of the Air Force Academy.

This cache is a small square rubbermaid located high on a hill just to the west of the United States Air Force Academy.

*** NOTE *** This cache, like the Eagle Peak cache, is close to the AFA boundary, but is not actually on base. One way to get to it is via Rampart Range Road, then east along Schubarth Road. Another good way is to head up Goat Camp Trail from the USAFA visitor center. This area is open to the public from 0900 to 1700 daily and is probably the quickest way. Head up the trail as if heading for the Meadow Muffin cache... from there on, it's up to you.

Enjoy the hike, and the view at the destination. The view of the Academy is spectacular. This should be a fun one; not too difficult and pretty enjoyable. Coming from the Visitor Center it takes about 5 miles round trip and about 1500' elevation gain to the cache location.

Cache is military theme. Initial contents included a variety of Academy, Air Force, and US memorabilia.
