Genesee Park is underrated!! There are plenty of opportunities to explore the different corners of this park - from the bison and elk pastures, to the picnic areas and hiking trails on Genesee Mountain, to the historic Chief Hosa Lodge and Campground, to the Beaver Brook/Chavez/Braille Trails. Not satisfied? This cache location brings you to a more secluded corner of this Denver Mountain Park. Accessible from Rainbow Hill Road and the western terminus of the I-70 bike path (as it is signed), head east along the paved trail to a point where an old road veers off to the northeast. This old road eventually turns north to a dirt trail that ascends the ridge to the north. Although the noise from the interstate takes away from the serenity of this location, the top of this ridge hosts a beautiful forest with a large rock outcrop (approximately 500 ft. to the west of our hide) that gives you a great vantage point of the surrounding area.
You are looking for a tube container wrapped in camo tape and large enough to support a number of trinkets for the youngsters - and we loaded it up!! The cache is hidden among the rocks, in a location that is likely not large enough for a baby bear to snuggle into, however my daughter convinced me it was, and the cache name was born!! Enjoy this secluded corner of Genesee Park!!
