CSQ # 173 - Rocky Mtn Memorial Pk
("Colorado's Most Beautiful Cemetery")
!! Exciting Cache Series !!
“COLORADO SPIRIT QUEST”
The Colorado Spirit Quest is a series of caches placed by many individuals near cemeteries and historic sites to pay respect the many pioneer ancestors that "walked" before us.
There are numerous cemeteries in the rural and mountain communities across Colorado. This series introduces you to many of them; some of the cache pages also provide a "virtual history tour" of the cemeteries and tombstones. After you've located the cache container, please take a moment to reflect on the lives of the pioneers represented here, and the effort it took to make Colorado a great state.
Colorado Spirit Quest (CSQ) is not affiliated with any other Spirit Quest group. Special thanks to SixDogTeam who started the Indiana Spirit Quest in 2004. The idea has rapidly spread into many states. The CSQ endeavor is an enormous task, and cannot be accomplished by just one or two cachers. This project only can flourish due to the participation of many volunteers.
If you are interested in joining the “Walking Through History Clan” email the owner of “Colorado Spirit Quest #1 – The Passage through the Mountains”. Use the "Send Message” link on the team's profile page. Each person that places a cache is responsible for its maintenance.
Please Remember: If you are APPREHENSIVE of cemeteries then you should AVOID this series.

Rocky Mountain Memorial Park
Parker, Arapahoe County, Colorado
The Rocky Mountain Memorial Park is relatively new. The cemetery itself is open to the public and you DO NOT need to go farther than the fence to find the cache. Of course, be especially respectful of the surroundings, occupants, and any visitors.
