This cache is in the hogbacks. You will have to climb over some rocks and up a hill. Also watch for the cacti it is all over. This is why my terrain is at 4 Coordinates are with an accuracy of 10'
When you get to this location you will be looking for another set of coordinates that will take you to the cache.

Container is a small plastic jar. I would not recommend doing this one at night.

Please place the cache back as you found it or better.

Hi - date is approximate since we had really sketchy internet service during our recent visit to the Colo Springs area & I'm late-logging.
I had two very nice days to visit down to Canyon City- interrupted by that mini-blizzard that rolled thru ! Found a lot of caches including some challenges, & a multi with a choice D/T combo for filling a space in an all-multi fizzy grid.

This !! was that 'choice' !! Smile There's one other over on Mount Herman up north of the USAFA … but none available in the part of Texas where I'm at home. So Yayyyy Mr V. !!!

While I was in area decided to try this one. First stage was easy. Final not so much. That is quite a climb though I’m sure I didn’t pick the easiest route. But I made it and that’s what counts. Signed log and enjoyed the view. TFTMC

Much longer walk than I expected. I have looked down at this area from skyline Drive and wondered what it was like. Tftc

Out here to crew for a balloon at the Balloon Festival this weekend, and started with clearing out all the caches in the Skyline park area. A tough conclusion to caching on the north side of Skyline park. TFTC

Wow! That was tough tough tough tough dare I say it again-TOUGH! Especially with a dog in tow on leash who liked to stop & sniff every critter pee or poop spot, goes on the wrong side of bushes, hooks his leash on every rock point, tries to jump straight up the rocks & slides back sometimes, not to mention the cacti & stickers. But I made it! Looked too long at the wrong tree too high but returned to where I actually started & finally spotted the nice sized cache.
