Description EN

So after finding Haystack Rock on your hike of the Auxier Ridge Trail, you absolutely must continue on to Courthouse Rock.  There are some really fantastic vistas as you continue on the Auxier Ridge Trail and it gets "skinny" in spots - making it slightly dangerous but incredibly beautiful - so be careful.  You'll pass over the Wizard's Backbone, which is an exposed trail area with steep drop offs on either side giving you some fantastic views of the rock.  Just before you descend towards Courthouse Rock, you'll get a fantastic picture opportunity for this cache.  The coordinates will take you to the rock itself, where you'll be at its base making for another wonderful picture taking opportunity as well. As always in the gorge, be careful - a slip on a cliff edge here won't be something you recover from.
