Trail Mix #20: DMP Stanley Park Tract

GC701P7 Traditional Cache

Trail Mix #20: DMP Stanley Park Tract
Type: Traditional | Size: Regular Regular

| Difficulty: 2 out of 5

| Terrain: 3 out of 5

This cache is hidden in yet another one of those Denver Mountain Parks that has no name but on one map is called the "Stanley Park 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 map of the area and it looked like a good place for one of these caches so here it is. It's not too hard of a hike to the cache but there is one place where you will need to climb about 8 or 10 feet up some rocks at waypoint 4 - that is, if you follow my waypoints. If you don't follow my waypoints, your terrain challenge may vary. 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.
Please respect private property signs. If you go the correct way (see waypoints), you wont see any.

A note about parking. There is a very faded no parking sign at the trailhead so don't block it.

First time at this park and we had it all to ourselves. Got all four caches here. Another great TM, but had to leave the kid with the dog as I climbed for the final.

Great park for a hike.
And quite the climb to get to the container.
The waypoints definitely help.
Great view up here.
Giving it a Favorite point.

Indeed a nice view from the area. The waypoints are your friends for this cache, particularly #3 & #4. TFTC

This is one of the more difficult terrain-wise caches I've done in a while. It inspires me get back in shape. TFTC BigSmile

Found today with the dog. The waypoints are helpful - if you use them! Went the long way around for this one, then wised up and followed the waypoints for the rest.

Came back to this little Park after 3 years and now there are more caches. Didn't take this fork last time. Enjoyed the climb and the view.
