At this location you will find a pyramid seemingly in the middle of nowhere. But back in the day (1880), it was most definitely somewhere. It marked the highest point of the transcontinental railroad at 8,247 feet. The momument was designed by architect H.H. Richardson and constructed by Union Pacific to honor the brothers Oakes and Oliver Ames. It was a big deal back then and even president Rutherford B. Hayes was present for the dedication ceremony. You can read even more of the fascinating back story here:

There is a sign onsite. Please note the FIRST date listed on the sign. This may be tricky so write them down or take a pic. The date will be your passcode to log the cache.
Please take a picture of yourself or your GPS with the monument in the background. Enjoy your visit!
There is just a few remains of the ghost town of Sherman nearby along with what is left of the cemetary. There may also be a really old GC cache nearby.
