This cache is near the start of the Butler Gulch trail. It has beautiful wildflowers, a nice cascade about 1 mile up the trail, and some mining relics further along in the valley.

I hope a few more caches along the trail will encourage more people to enjoy the area.
The cache is just a few hundred feet from the Butler Gulch parking area, but I rated the terrain 2.5 because of the slope and signal strength. I took readings several hours apart and this is the best I could come up with.

Greetings from Kitchener, Ontario Canada! I stopped by to log your cache today along with northernpenguin on our visit to Colorado this week. I was last here in 2012, and I really enjoyed exploring the area more fully this time around. We made a spectacular hike with friends up to Butler Gulch and did some walking around downtown Denver, as well as some exploring around our hotel in Centennial. All the caches we found were in excellent shape and fun to find - thank you for adding to our traveling adventures.

This was our first find this trip, at the start of our trek up the mountian. There was more snow than we expected, but we were prepared thanks to some good advice from our US friends. Cache was in excellent shape :)

Greetings! Found with northernpenguin today. Thank you sassydil for placing this one to be found - find number 4731 for me and 1 of 6 for today! SL Cool

Hello from Kitchener, Ontario, Canada! I'm in Denver for some training with my wife, Kayakate. During our free time we wandered about for some local geocaches. A co-worker and his wife introduced us to the Butler Gulch trail today and we made sure we loaded up the caches along the trail.

This was not far from where we parked, so it was the first on our "todo" list for the hike. This is also about where the snow ends - I ended up scrambling across some deep snow to fetch this cache, which is in excellent condition. Signed the log and set our sights to the heights - off to the top now!

This is find number 9675 for me. 1 of 6 for today
Thank you sassydil for placing this cache to be found!
