This scenic location provides views of the Kenosha Mountains to the east and the Tarryall Valley to the south. The Kenosha Mountains are a series of unnamed peaks in the Lost Creek Wilderness Area that border the South Park and South Platte Ranger Districts. The Kenoshas are part of the Kenosha Batholith, a granite intrusion of rock formed by cooled magma below the earth's crust. The Wilderness Area can be accessed via the nearby Colorado Trail.

Caching with Oilbear125, Ghostiegal, and Ksgator72. We came to Colorado for Pikes Peak and the geotours. We are working on the Southpark tour. Love the scenery and having fun with the caches.
