Why climb a mountain? Because it is there of course! For avid geocachers, it's also to find the Round medallion on top. The US Geological Survey places brass or metal benchmark monuments, or "stations", to provide latitude, longitude or orthometric height as a point of reference for surveyors, hikers and climbers. The National Geodetic Survey manages more than 240,000 stations in the United States, including this one on top of Bald Mountain in Utah, part of the Uinta Mountain Range.
