This will be a great drive that will take you to beautiful Cottonwood Lake - Great fishing here too!!  There will be lots of muggles around - be careful!

This one could be a little tricky  - The surroundings are absolutely beautiful.  This might also be a good one to bring a picnic lunch along, there are spots to lay out a blanket as well as a fee picnic area.  Just past the lake, there is a beautiful campground.  Cottonwood Lake is an area favorite for good reason. People fish from the bank, enjoy the picnic area, SUP, kayak and canoe on this lovely lake. The drive up is just as nice, well-maintained gravel road lined with aspen trees and following a creek. Lots of beaver ponds can be found in this area. Just up from the lake is a perfect place to spot mountain goats up on the side of the cliffs.

Bounced all around, then decide to use my geosense. That made the difference.

Found while spending a week at Spring Canyon. Left a special import...a Barbie burka from Afganistan. Rare cache SWAG. Cache not really near the coords but easy to find. KEEP THIS CACHE HERE!

Like HelloRose and BlestMomof6, we also had an unexpected long weekend due to a teacher walk-out. We’ve been seeing their logs on many of the tour caches, but not this one. Perfect opportunity for a mother-child Geocaching journey. We came up from Boulder Thurs evening and stayed at the BW and are doing the tour today. This one took us a little longer to find, but now we’re over half-way done with the tour! TFTC!
