This cache is located in Matthews/Winters Park, on the lower Red Rocks trail. Terrain is rocky and the trail has some some ups and downs, elevation gain is minimal. Elevation at cache 6430'. Hiking boots or good tennis shoes recommended. Very popular mountain bike area.
Cache is less than 50' off the trail, but out of view, just around the corner of a large rock. Container is now a average sized ammo box well camoed.
Small trade items,log book and new bandanas. Banadas being a crucial item in any hikers pack and not just to wipe the sweat from your face, I thought I would do a bandana cache.

Please include in your log a creative use you have found for the humble bandana.

One of my favorite hikes for early in the season. Go early or around dusk for best wildlife viewing. I saw a small herd of mule deer the day I placed the cache. The hike can be done as a loop, if you continue on from the cache and head up and west at the junction to Red Rocks Park. The upper plateu offers some great views of Denver. Best parking is at N39 41.736 W105 12.230

Had to move on. Lots of new brush has bloomed and I suspect it is adding extra camo. We will try again.

No bandana in the cache, so I was a little disappointed (there is a glove though). This one is in the brush, so keep your legs covered while going to it. TFTC!

We walked past this one chatting and then had to backtrack to get the cache. Nice hide. SL. Thanks.

I had to make another trip to Golden today, but fortunately I had time to pick up a few caches at oh-dark thirty. I’ve never been to Matthew Winters Park before, so it was good to have the opportunity to visit and check out some of the trails. Despite the nice trails, my main objective was to pick up caches, so I am very grateful the CO made this placement. I was fortunate to make the find on this one without any drama. Thanks to the CO for the fun hunt, enabling a nice hike, placing this cache, and bringing me to this spot. TFTC.

Easy find hard to get to. Feel bad going so far off trail in such a popular park.
