This cache is located in No Name, Colorado.  It is placed just east of the rest area along the Glenwood Canyon Hiking Trail.  You'll need to find your way to the trail via the "trailhead".  You'll be close when you're straight across the Colorado River from Lt. Dan (sitting in his wheelchair, Forrest Gump themed).  That's what I call him anyway.  If it's possible, take a photo of him to post with your find.  This is friendly to people on the trail as well as those adventurous types that float the Colorado River to access this cache.  Congratulations to HD4 and Lynnsdestiny1 on co-FTF.

Whew, that was tough. I parked at the nearby rest stop and staggered my way to the path. Container is an amazing size. Deceptive from the top and cool swag.
Our last day on the western slope. Windatmyback and I came over to Glenwood Springs and stayed the weekend. We were lucky enough to score a cute AirB&B south of town. Although it was chilly, it was warm enough to grab several caches after we packed up. We started by grabbing a few at the base of a ski resort (one hasn't been found since 2016), then headed into town for a puzzle, then south on Highway 133. He grabbed caches in Carbondale, then Redstone before returning north and heading east back to Denver. Along that route we picked up a couple of virtual caches and cleaned up a few friend's caches that we are finally near. Great day to cache.
As always, thanks for the cache!
