You might find that this cache is hard, but no bull. The thorns of life will guide your path so long as you don't slip because that will be a trip you never forget.
Fully equipped with several travel bugs and a white jeep for a first to find award!!!

This cache requires a 6.2 mile round trip hike down Waterton Canyon located south of Chatfield reservoir. The cache is located near some other significant hike caches so a great chance for a multiple day. Kids have shown the ability to make this hike quite easily.

However, please use caution with little ones. This area is mountain lion territory. As I was placing this cache a stood up and saw a small female mountain lion 35-45 lbs (with in 25 yrds) which given its size says that there is an adult in the area.

We decided to bike waterton today we stopped here and hiked up to the cache. The trail is overgrown and it was hot. Cache hasn't been found in so long and there was 2 tbs in it so we took them out tftc sl.

Found with Lidlove pretty easily after a short hike off the main trail, or should I say road. First activity in this cache in nearly 3 years. We placed a total of 3 TB's in this cache, so someone come get 'em and move them along! TFTC:-)

Quite the scramble/hike to this one, the trail is really overgrown. I was really worried about snakes but found I needed to be more aware of other stinging things. Dropped a trackable, digdug dropped two more! Tftc

Right where it should be and in good shape. Suprised no one has done this in a year since there is so much traffic in the canyon. If you make it up to the old pool, you've already done all of the elevation. TFTC

Wow, last logged 15+ months ago. I can see why, a tough hike up. Left 2 rolls of electrical tape. All is well with the cache. A combined 18.48 miles biking and hiking to find 14 caches in Waterton Canyon. Saw a doe in the parking lot, about 10 lizards, and 12 big horn sheep on the road on the return ride. Thank you for placing this cache so we could enjoy the game. sl LW77 and SC77

Cache is in great shape. I dodged the thorns, found the source of the bull reference and even though it's the same month the cache was hidden I unfortunately did not have a cat sighting. TFTH!!!

A great day caching with mm&mm and JMKR along Waterton Canyon before the long closure. I lost the trail at the swtichback and made this harder than it needed to be. SL TFTC.

This required a little more effort than just hiking up the canyon trail. No bicycles up here.
