This benchmark is located on top of Tiefort Mountain, set in stone, but not in the ground. It is located on the NASA research station catwalk, or was when I found it. There is a helipad on top of the mountain, or you can climb the mountain. The hike is about 3 miles. Start at the parking area at the base on the North side and follow the power lines.

NOTE: This is located on an active military installation within the area of range control. You must have a valid picture ID to get on post and must get clearance from range control to enter the training area.
