Just off the trail which you can access near the lower reservoir. This is a great short cut if you don't want to hike past the upper reservoir on your way to Cap Rock Challenge, GCB349, to hike the back country, or to hike the Ice Cave Creek Trail. The cache location is within arms reach of the trail, you may have to step off the trail but not more than a step or two. To access this cache, I recommend parking on Old Carriage Road and walking up to the lower reservoir. Trail head is on the right shortly after passing the lower reservoir. Congrats to Hartsdale for FTF!

Out for an early Saturday morning hike to go after a FTF, trade some trackables, and explore these beautiful trails with just a dusting of snow on them. All containers and logs were in great shape and ready for signing. On the way back from finding this one, we looked down at Palmer Lake Ice Cave cache - maybe we'll come back for that one on a warmer day. :o) Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache.
