Paraport Traditional Cache
Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions
in our disclaimer.
This cache is located at 6300’. The road in is very rocky, good ground clearance or 4WD is advised. You may also walk the road (please close the gate) 1.25 miles with 500’ altitude gain or bushwhack from the main Pine Mountain road, nearly a mile with 1000’ of altitude gain. From the parking site, the cache finding is easy, the road in is not. Snow may prevent access during the winter.
This is the second in our airport series. It is not your usual airport. But rather a Paraport, used by Paragliders for foot launching their flying machines. They are often here on summer afternoons, riding the wind blowing up the west face of this butte. Another 1000’ up the trail is the highest point, with a commanding 360° view. If you are the adventurous type you can camp out and enjoy the awesome sunset, as seen from the top of the world. Camping is also available at the nearby Pine Mountain Observatory.
The cache is a regular ammo can with the usual stuff inside. Please rehide it carefully, to retain the natural appearance.
