Searching for this geocache takes you on a scenic hike in the Paul Intemann trail system with beautiful vistas. The cache is on the Palmer Trail, which is reachable by several trailheads within this trail system (Gold Camp Rd, Red Rocks Canyon, or Crystal Park Rd). This is an out-and-back trail off of Section 16 about a mile past the waterfall. If you reach a No Trespassing sign that reads “No Excuses“ you have gone too far. Be careful not to wander past the sign on private property!

Looked around a while looking for a hiding place that fit the description. Those birds have been busy! Thanks for the cache.

Out for a chilly day of hiking with GoMRT. Didn't see a lot of views today, but being socked in fog ALL day (and not getting rained on!) was a cool experience. This was our last stop before heading into gold mining territory and the meadows up there. The cache placed today has already published! Thanks for placing this one, fits perfectly in its spot.

Thanks for cache way back here. This is a cool area to see that one doesn't normally see. Nice way to cap the morning off up here.

Catching up on some logs from latest visit, now that we’re home with more versatile internet.

I continued a Sec16 loop hike out this way as long as the ‘new’ cache beckoned. I spent a lot of the out & back trying to remember a book- related TB I had grabbed from a gone cache; waaayyyy back when I first joined the game.
Dropped one off here to commemorate!
(btw it was a Grisham ‘The Racketeer’ series coin. Those still around ?? )

I was fortunate enough to get invited for a hike with Ernie and Estes. Then they were gracious enough to allow me to pick up a few caches along this back door trail to the section 16 area and beyond. Thanks to gigiowl for the placement! All is well with the container and the log. IN - Tokyo 2020 Olympic pin OUT - nothing TFTH!!
