Geocache Description:

This cache is placed to bring local and visiting cachers to a Valdez vantage point that provides a 360° view of the town of Valdez, Valdez Arm, several glaciers, and the surrounding Chugach Mountains. 


Park at the Valdez Civic Center or walk from anywhere in town and take the short trail with many steps that begins from the north west corner of the parking lot.  Enjoy the wraparound view of the entire area and then carefully seek the cache without giving up its location to the many muggles that also visit this very special spot.  

       

The cache is a film canister prepared for easy retrieval without leaving the trail.  The initial contents include several state quarters, a ladybug and a pencil.  Please rehide the cache so it is entirely out of sight since this is such a frequently visited area.  The cache may not be accessible when snow accumulation is at its highest.

Photos (taken in mid-May):  Hogback Mountain and Valdez small boat harbor (left) and Sugarloaf Mountain and Port of Valdez (right).

Note on cache maintenance:  Daddy Ladybug travels routinely to Valdez on business, but local cacher Roscoe Pyle has agreed to help with routine cache maintenance in the event of any problems requiring immediate attention.
