Park at Glorieta Ski Rental Shop 35deg35.869N, 105deg46.099W. Follow trail to an old car. Keep going!
Cache is a blue lidded tupperware container. Contains Emergency Blanket, Disposable poncho, Key keeper, Mini Cooper, Surfer Dude, Spinning Top, Growing Alien (from Roswell UFO museum!), Camp Soap, Glowing Skull, Thermometer/Compass, "PINK", Mermaid, Puzzle, Mini-slinky and Disposable Camera to take your photo.
To get to Glorieta go take I25 North from Santa Fe. Exit at Glorieta/Pecos. Turn left to cross bridge and turn left again. Don't be intimidated by the gate at the Baptist Convention Center. Tell them you're doing the hike and they let you in. Follow Oak Street to get to the Ski Shop Trailhead. On the way to the cache ignore the side trails to "Broken Arrow". In wet conditions (esp. winter) the trail gets VERY muddy so waterproof boots essential. The cache is located at 8130ft. It's a long hike (~6 miles roundtrip) so prepare for changeable weather conditions in the canyon. The trailhead is at 7485ft. Don't forget to sign in at the trailhead.
Bonus - after the cache continue down the trail to see the old sawmill and hotel.
Beware of GHOSTS....
