Another easy find in the Colorado Spirit Quest Challenge! The Yampa Cemetery was established in 1898 to meet the needs of some of Routt County's earliest settlers. Located at 15194 Co Rd 21, Yampa CO 80483 -- ELEV 7,737'
This one is probably NOT accessible in the winter if there is more than a foot of snow on the ground -- however, if you're a diehard, it wouldn't be impossible! Please also be aware that the rifle range is litterally across the fence from the cemetery and if someone is sighting in their gun, it's loud and close!
! The Exciting Cache Series!
“COLORADO SPIRIT QUEST”
REMEMBER:
If you are APPREHENSIVE about cemeteries – AVOID this series.
The Colorado Spirit Quest is a series of Caches placed by many individuals, near cemeteries and historic sites in hopes of paying respect to the many pioneer ancestors that have ‘walked’ before us.
If you are interested in being a part of this project, contact may be made by sending an e-mail to the owner of “Colorado Spirit Quest #1 – Mountain Passage”. Use the ‘Send Message” link at the center of the page of their profile.
There are hundreds of cemeteries in the rural and mountain communities across Colorado. This series will introduce you to many of them.
The cache pages will provide a virtual history tour of the cemeteries and tombstones.
The CSQ endeavor is an enormous and relentless task and will only flourish if there is a multitude of volunteer cachers willing to place these caches.
After locating the cache container, take some time to reflect back on the lives of those pioneers and the effort it took to make Colorado such a great state.
Each person that places a CSQ cache is responsible for its maintenance.
