Micro creative hide at the top of the world in an undeveloped Denver Mountain Park. This is an off-trail steep climb with somewhat of a path that is faint and might be hard to see at first. We loved this park because it was an adventure!

This used to be a small container but was muggled too often so we had to make it harder to find.
If you have a 4 wheel drive, you could park at the parking coordinates which is a hidden pull-out on North Turkey Creek Road. The faint trail that we found is right across the street from that parking area.

If you have a small car, there are other possible pull-offs nearby.

Please hide it well when replacing due to annoying muggles that seem to frequent this place.

Ugh - our new coordinates are obviously wrong. It's not far from the original spot - maybe 30 ft? Look at the hint to get you there and we'll trek back to try to get new coordinates. (Nov 2013)

Difficult hike up to a beautiful, remote spot. Loved the camo and the hint was perfect. I'll bet geocachers are the only people who venture to this spot. I know I never would have visited, if not for the two geocaches up here.

A true nightmare getting to and from this one! Steep hill and easy to lose your footing. Found the cache about 20 feet southeast of coords. Definitely look for the CBT mentioned in the hint. TFTC!

I have had my eye on the two caches up here for quite some time. Today I finally make the trek up the hill. After more than a year and a half since the last find, the cache was in fine shape. TFTC. On to the next.

Took me a while to find this one. I started looking at old logs, and they said to look about 30 feet out. After I read that I spotted it pretty quickly. Very nice camo, and not a soul around! I've had my eye on this little park for a long time. I should have brought my gaiters - spent a while picking out seed heads from my shoes. Thanks! That worked out pretty well. Here's the coords I got N 39 35.664 W 105 13.477 I was slipping down the hillside on the way out - maybe it's time to break out those new shoes that I bought! I'm giving this one a favorite point.
