A great opportunity for a day in the wild!

This cache is hidden at Aurora Reservoir, one of several reservoir-parks in the Denver metropolitan area. This is one of several geocaches that were placed for Aurora's 2011 celebration of National Trails Day. More caches were left for your enjoyment.

1) The water in the reservoir is used as one of the city's drinking supplies. The dam is property of the Army Corps of Engineers. Please exercise common sense and don't do stuff that will get you in trouble.

2) Taking vehicles into Aurora Reservoir costs $10. You can bike in or walk in for free, but you will lose the convenience of having your vehicle.

3) The Reservoir-# geocaches are placed around the main reservoir loop. To do all seven caches, you will have an eight mile hike.

4) There are no motorized vehicles on the trail. Don't bring one. The fine for doing so is very, very steep. Bicycles and roller-blades are welcome, though.

5) Bring a camera. You'll see beautiful things. But don't mess with the wildlife.

6) Stay on the trail as much as possible. The trail goes by all caches. The Aurora Reservoir is a wildlife reserve and a lot of creatures call it home.

7) The park opens at 5:30 AM and closes at sunset. Do not come here after dark.

8) All of the Reservoir-# geocaches were placed with Aurora Ranger supervision.

9) There are rattlesnakes at Aurora Reservoir. Please be careful! There are also a lot of bugs that would love to suck your blood. Bring sun screen and bug repellent. And make sure you have plenty of water to stay hydrated on your hike.

10) You can make a day of this trip! Aurora Reservoir has plenty of recreational activities -- hiking, biking, swimming, scuba diving, boating, fishing, archery and just lounging on the beach. Bring a picnic basket or get food at the park's concession stand.

Most importantly, HAVE FUN! That’s what geocaching is all about.

Thanks for the hide and the enjoyment Stormy_Marmont. We are visiting from Arizona to attend a family reunion and we thought we'd spend some time at the lake. It's a beautiful day with a slight wind. As I approached GZ I was very discouraged that it was a rock hide. But the coordinates were great and I signed the log!!
