This is a 3 stage cache that includes approximately the first 3 miles of the Dadd Gulch Trail from the Poudre Canyon side. I like this trail, its dog friendly, but small children may get tired if you do all 3 legs. There is water here, but in the heat of summer you may need to pack some in... Initially listed Coordinates are for Trailhead location... Cache 1 (Virtual) "Powerful Stuff!" 40° 41.374’N 105° 32.911’W 7,449 feet Proceed up the Dadd Gulch trail (SW) from parking area after making sure you close the gate upon entry! Follow the trail for approximately 1.2 miles until you find a place where Thomas Edison's legacy makes a left turn. Tell me the silver number you find there. Cache 2: (Traditional) "Perched Boulder Cache" 40° 41.059’N 105° 32.861’W 7,658 feet From Cache 1 proceed in a southerly direction toward Cache 2 admiring the small stream and scenery along the way. As you approach the second set of coordinates, you will enter an area that shows significant evidence of recent fire activity (downed trees) and to your right will be a unique rock formation with what looks to be a perched boulder atop a spire. The cache is at the base of this perched boulder. You can attack the small climb head on or approach from either side. The climb is easy, my dog even made it to the cache site with me. Cache is a small Tupperware container (3 inch by 3 inch) containing a log sheet, golf tee, a ball mark repair tool, a luggage lock w/ keys, 2 lapel pins and a padlock key. Cache 3: (Scenery) “What A View!” 40° 41.041’N 105° 33.250’W 8,145 feet This is a high point directly west of Cache 2 that offers a great view of the surrounding country as well as a view of Comanche Peak and Lookout Mountain to the south and Cammeron Pass to the southwest. If you’re up for a climb, you can leave the beaten path and bushwhack .3 miles westward to the coordinates. If you prefer a more leisurely approach, continue along the trail toward a ridgeline (approximately 40° 40.907’N 105° 33.244’W) and approximately .2 miles to the north you will see a small peak with another interesting rock formation. After a moderate climb away from the trail, you will reach the cache site, relax enjoy the view and reflect on the beautiful country we get to live in!
