You are looking for a small waterproof container at an overlook on a little used trail. I have included a spoiler photo.
A pipeline was built to deliver water from Rosemont Reservoir to Colorado Springs in the 1930s. The trail runs next to the pipeline and you will see exposed parts of it and at times you can hear the water running through it. South of the cache the trail is covered by downed trees and becomes very difficult to follow.

Follow Old Stage road to Road 372 and go south to the parking coords. There are numerous camping spots along the road. You will need a car with some clearance but 4WD is not necessary if it is dry. Puddles on the road usually have a solid bottom but the mud off the side of the road can be deep. I had to help pull someone out once that got stuck just off the road.

Near lost on me. Went a long day of caching and this was the last of the day. Almost didn't even want to go... But something in me said DO IT. Holy smokes! Was not disappointed!!!! Favorite point for sure!

Was with the CO when she placed this one. We had a great day continuing along this alternative green mountain trail, and ended up bagging several more caches. Thanks for the cache and a fun day of hiking!

I headed up this way early this morning and my first stop was to look for this one.

Parking was at a premium with everyone camping at at every pulloff spot.

There it is.

Thanks for the adventure and keeping my monthly streak alive!

Now for some catch and release.
