Get out and see the wilderness!
I have been wanting to add a Pikes Peak View cache somewhere but out on the plains East of COS is just too simple for a mountain this big. So I got my view cache a little closer. There are some good photo opportunities up the hill from the cache. That is where the views are.

For the caches that I have hidden out here in the general area... Start your hike from wherever you can legally park. There are a few possible spots. All of these caches are placed on Pike National Forest property. Be sure to bring water and the other neccesities.

Have fun.

Hike NNW on this clear trail for 750 feet. When you see the two houses on the trail, hike NW below the houses so that you just keep the roof lines in view. Once you are past them, turn NE and get back up to the trail.

Having celebrated our Thanksgiving a few days ago with a bunch of our friends from church, we decided to take advantage of this gorgeous Thursday to get up to Woodland Park and hike on some of our favorite trails.
No problems finding this cache and it was in great shape. Thanks and Blessed Thanksgiving!

Came straight at this one from a couple puzzles we did. Fun day wondering about the mountains. Thanks for placing these for us to find!
