Geocache Description:

Be aware that the elevation of the Emperor’s Tomb is 12,194 feet above sea level and subject to short summers, so come prepared.

The Emperor’s Tomb is based on the story of the Terracotta Warriors of China and their role of protecting Emperor Qin-shi-huang (221-207 BC) in his afterlife. Over eight thousand of these pottery warriors make up an army that would protect him for an eternity. In our case, the concept is somewhat the same, but there are only eight warriors. These warriors have mistakenly wandered off in four directions and need help to return to the Emperor’s Tomb. The Emperor is awaiting the return of his warriors and MUST remain in his Tomb. Once a warrior returns, he MUST remain to fulfill his responsibility to the Emperor.

Please feel free to help yourself to a part of the Emperor’s treasure and leave something that he may take into the after-life. The Emperor would also like pictures of his visitors so that he can keep track of them. The Emperor's Warriors are Travel Bugs (Terracotta #1 thru 8) and have been seen in caches across the Country as they attempt to return to the Tomb. If you come across one, the Emperor would greatly appreciate his return to the Tomb..

This cache can be accessed from Grant Colorado on US 285 and heading West on County road 62 towards Guanella Pass. Go approximately 14.2 miles on 62 to US Forest Service road 2433. Proceed .6 miles on 2433 to the Silver Dollar Trail Head parking area (N 39-36.404, W 105-43.641). Some may consider 2433 a 4x4 road but sedans were observed at the parking area. From here you’ll take the Silver Dollar Trail approximately 2 miles to the Emperor’s Tomb. The last ¼ mile is fairly steep so take your time and enjoy the scenery...
