Geocache Description:

Above Bisbee is a whole world of surprises.  This geocache, and the additional coordinates, will bring you to many of them.  Have fun and please include a picture of a detail of one of the many surprises. Please see the hint to find this one


This cache is not under any rocks. It is above eye level behind a rock sitting on a small ledge in a rock crevice. You can reach over the rock to grab it. When you reach you will not see it until you pick it up. It is too high to see and it's a tall reach ... too tall for a child but most adults can reach it. Please do not move the rocks that it sits behind. It is not at the top of the mountain. See the hint for another detail.

Park your car in the Brewery Gulch parking lot and walk to the very top of OK street where you will find the trailhead.  Follow the trail to the Geocache. if you'd like to make this a circuit hike, follow the additional coordinates so as to walk along the ridge and down a different trail that ends at the trailhead you started at. There is an optional return trail that will take you more directly into the center of town and directly to the Buddha Cave geocache below. (See optional coordinates for that return trail down.)

Near the return trail-heads down there is another geocache hidden.

Since you are so close, you might as well follow the short gravel road up to the top of the "B" mountain and back. See if you can walk down to the top of the "B" off the west side of that mountain.

The views are magnificent from up here.  Bring water and sun protection.

You will see:

Che Guevara memorial

The Green Buddha

Dali Lama shrine

Our Lady of Guadalupe

Dr. Martin Luther King memorial

The Black Teeth above Bisbee

Mary and Jesus shrines

Cross and angels above Bisbee
