My two friends and I spent a week visiting Rocky Mt NP. We toured the west side and really enjoyed the Coyote Valley area. This cache/riddle was a head stratcher. I hope I guessed correctly.

Our Colorado vacation continued today with a drive from Golden to Grand Lake. Mostly working on the Across The Divide GeoTour, but also attempting a few other caches along the way. Enjoyed the hike up to here. Answer is on the way. TFTC!

Found with chuppalloop. Wasn't entirely sure what letter we were looking for so we hope our photographic proof of what we found will justify our response. TFTC!

Picked this one up while in town for the Campout, greatest geocaching event in the state! We have now been up here a couple days and have been having such a great time in this city. Such great people and fun caches to find. The family even got out and did some light caching with me this weekend. Thanks for having this cache out here for us to find this weekend!!

After the coffee and cones event, we came up here to the falls and then hiked a little further up the trail to a nice calm area where the kids could go out and play in the water some. It started to rain on us while we were up here. Honestly its a bit shocking at the number of people up here on the trail. Virtuals are great because you can be around a group of people and they never know you are caching! :) Thanks for keeping this one up!

- Q: Whats the derivative of Amazon?
A: Amazon Prime!

Sent message, hope i got the answer right. This was a nice short walk up, and short scramble down. I got some nice pics here, but we couldn't stay long because of the storms rolling in. Beautiful area, TFTC.

We are on the craziest trip we ever will make. 3 weeks to go from New York, NY to the HQ in Seattle,WA and back to New York,NY and catch as many states in US and Canada as you can.

Day 15 of the challenge - Rocky Mountain N.P.

The N.P. is one of our favorites inside the US. We never went to this location and this was surprising.

Thanks for the fun and greetings from Germany
