 Nice View RM Off Road Series (ORS) #6a: Spring Creek Trail This cache is the last of seven in my #6a series (counting Joe Friday's cache at the staging area) of off-road caches located along the difficult Spring Creek Trail route. This route runs for 5 miles from the I70 south frontage road near Idaho Springs, to Spring Gulch Road. The suggested return route is via Spring Gulch Road where my #6 series is located, but you can also return via Saxon Mountain Road where my #2 series is located.

Rating/Description The trail starts at a small staging area at N39 45.777 W105 38.015 (on waypoint list below). Shortly after the trail starts, you will come to a "Y" at N39 45.752 W105 37.780 (on waypoint list below). If you go straight, you will be headed to the first obstacle. If you go left, you will bypass the first obstacle, meeting up with the trail right above the obstacle. You can walk down a short distance from where the trail connects and check out the first obstacle at N39 45.654 W105 37.618 (on waypoint list below). From the first obstacle, you will be driving on shelf roads and will meet up with the second obstacle (relatively easy) while on the shelf roads. The third obstacle is more difficult than the second, but is not as difficult as the first (I did it without lockers). After passing the third obstacle, you will eventually come to the Rock Garden which will take a while to get through because of the numerous rock obstacles. Once through the rock garden, it is only a short distance to the top of the trail. After you reach the top of the trail, there are numerous ways back to the highway, but it recommended that you take a left on Spring Gulch Road and do the RM Off Road Series #6 caches. You can also take a right to Saxon Mountain Road and do the RM Off Road Series #2 caches along that road. Winter
