Found this cache on 9/2/18. We had been to this cache 3 or 4 years ago, and for some reason never logged it online. I was going to check the log book to find our last visit, but it has been replaced with a new book. The kids found this one all on their own, as they have no memory of finding it before. The hike looks quite a bit different with all of the trees down, but still a beautiful place, with the aspen just starting to come into color in spots. Left some swag but did not take anything. The only animals spotted were cattle, but still picturesque. TFTC!

Found this on 7/14/18 but didn't log it at the time because we didn't have a cell signal. The cache looked to be completely new. We really enjoyed the nice little hike to a beautiful view. TFTC!

Mountain View Cache is temporarily unavailable. This is due to logging activity in the area. We will replace the cache when we are 100% certain that logging activity has terminated in this location. Thank you for your patience. SFSP

Made the mistake of leaving the GPS at home, but was able to piggy back on a new family that had never Geocached up here to find this one. TFTC!

My husband was so excited because he found this one! You know men don't always look very carefully but he is getting better. And our GPS is pretty accurate! Nice little nature trail. Unfortunately there was a lot of smoke around because of the fire near Walden. You couldn't see any of the mountains at all because it was THAT bad. We will come back again sometime when the fire is out, and it is safer for our health. Thanks for keeping up all the geocaches in the Park!

Even though this is a hike for children, it's still very enjoyable. The furthest point out on the hike (near where the cache is) is in an amazing meadow with shrubs and other plants like I've never seen before. Stunning views and a lovely bench to take it all in. Cache is easy to find - a little trail leads down to it.

We loved this little hike, since our 2-year-old could do it almost all by himself. He found the "treasure" and we took a little Sasquatch figurine in exchange for some stickers and other goodies. He loves "Spa-yeti" the Sasquatch and takes him everywhere! TFTH.

A nice hike with the grandchildren. State Forest State Park has a lot of Geocaches to find.
