A perfect spot for a short walk in quiet serenity.
Happy Trails caches are a series of quick and easy caches to be grabbed on the way to other caches in the neighborhood. This one is on the way to “Lost Yet?” and near “Fourth of July” caches, located about 100 yards off the road, and an ideal place to contemplate your next move. This is a log only cache in a 35mm camo’ed film can so bring your own pencil.
Best access is from the north of Manitou Lake on Forest Service Road 345 that begins near the Manitou Experimental Forest HQ. No need to cross any fences that which may be private property or a designated fee area. These caches are otherwise easily accessible for geo-campers staying at the Colorado Campground.

Needs a new container. This guy is cracked and owner needs to hang it or it will be on the ground again. Thank you!

It's been almost a year since this cache has been logged. The pill bottle was on the ground and the lid off but, amazingly, the log was still in the cracked container and dry. Picked it up off the ground but needs a new container. Nice area...I have not been here before. TFTC
