This cache is hidden in another one of those Denver Mountain Parks that has no name but according to one map I saw it is called the "Pence Mountain Tract". This is part of a series of caches that are all along trails in open space areas west and southwest of Denver.

I spotted this park while browsing the satellite view of the area and it looked like a good place for one of these caches so here it is.   It's strenuous hike up to the cache especially if there is snow on the trail like when I hid it. There is a decent view from near the cache - explore a bit!

Unlike some of the other caches in this series, there are no clues to retrieve or puzzles to solve to find this or any other cache.
I saw a lot of animal tracks up there in the snow. Keep your eyes open for what made them. Oh, and bring your own pen.

Went for a hike in the snow with "animjason" today - this was the last of two geocaches that we found along the way. TN-LN-SL. Thanks !

Snowy track made things a little tough. Took a big slip and fall when I was within 100' of geocache. But found it fine (tracks in snow a big help). Huge GPS bounce at this one. Swapped a TB from Holland/Canada that I picked up in New Zealand with a resident geocoin.

I overslept the ski bus, so decided to go for a cache hike this morning. Parked at the trailhead and it took a little bit over an hour to get up to these two new ones and back to my truck. The trail wasn't too bad, there is a snow packed trail that is solid, but not so solid off to its sides. Ski tracks, snow shoe tracks, people tracks and dog tracks were seen along the way. Thanks for another one in this great series! Cheers!
