Easy cache to find once you hike up to the top of the Falls. The area is beautiful.
My family placed this cache while on a family picnic celebrating my nephew's high school graduation on a fantastic spring day spent in a beautiful area. Rifle Falls is spectacular, my mom says she and her sister took me and my brother and my cousins to the Falls when I was four (1964) but I don't remember going.

The featured attraction is a triple waterfall over a limestone cliff that drops, I'd say, at least 100 feet. The falls run all year long.

There are some pretty interesting caves to check out too.

Take Colorado Highway 325. About 14 miles north of Rifle.

Please be aware there is an entrance fee, the day we went it was $7.00 for the car.

The cache contains some goodies kids will like. Thanks to thebohlurns for agreeing to maintain the cache.

Enjoy.

What a purfect place to hike.We went up and around before grabbing the cache. Loved the cache, just far enough off the path to not be sean by muggles. May not have found without the hint in the last log. After that we did the squirrel trail witch was nice, shady, mostly flat and went most next to the streem. Thanks for putting this cache there.

Out for a couple weeks of camping and made a rather large list of caches I wanted to try and get. This one made the list. After a short search I had the log in hand and my name was added to the list. What a great spot for a cache. Cache is in great shape. You get a fav point for this one. TFTC
