This cache is hidden near the Clear Creek Reservoir - another great drive with beautiful views.  Clear Creek is popular for canoeing and fishing.  Head further up the road for wonderful camping and to visit the "ghost" towns of Vicksburg and Winfield. This beautiful canyon was once bustling with activity. during the gold and silver prospecting days in the 1860s, '70s, and '80s. The canyon had four major mines: Tasmania, Fortune, Banker, and Swiss Boy. The towns of Beaver City, Vicksburg, Rockdale/Silverdale, Winfield, and Hamilton sprang up. Now mostly ghost towns the towns of Vicksburg and Winfield so have some remaining buildings and are interesting to visit

This is an easy drive further north of the town of Buena Vista.  Make sure to find the "F" stamp in the cache box and stamp your passport.  Make sure to look for "rock garages"  This is a fairly Muggle Free zone, too.
