This cache is hidden at a high point at a location called Huntsman Gulch. It is Jefferson county land and there is a trail that goes all the way to the cache. There are some great views on the way and at the top.

This is another in a series of caches that are all along trails in open space areas west and southwest of Denver.

I provided a parking waypoint. From there you head up the trail all the way to the saddle and then turn left. This will be a hike of about 2 miles round trip with some of it being rather steep but not too bad.

There is a LOT of cacti on the top so I do not recommend bringing a dog with you. There are also some dropoffs but not too close to where you need to go.

 Hints

Uh oh, lots of rocks. Up close you can see the cache from above and below it. Extract it from below. Find a bush with a good place for a cache under it in the rocks.

3:57:00 PM Thanks for your parking directions. Loved the hike up to get this one, wasn't crazy about the steep loose terrain going back down. Glad I brought a hiking stick with me. I don't think I have ever been on this trail before. Thanks! L: Scrabble Tile. T: some lovely pictures

Went for a drive on a very nice warm and sunny mid-spring day with "animjason" - this was the fourth of six geocaches that we found along the way. TN-LN-SL. Thanks !
