This cache is in the Taylor Park, CO general area at 112286'. It is only accessible by a 4-wheel drive vehicle, hiker, bicyclist, motorcycle.
We found this area about 10 years ago Jeeping. Since then we have gone by the area numerous times in ATVs and we always stop to soak in the beauty. We named this area Sound of Music Hill because you get a 360 degree view of the mountains. From Taylor Park take the road to Spring Creek, then FR 744. Follow 744 until it dead ends into 759E and turn right. From Cement Creek follow 759 to 759E, turn right. It is also accessible from Italian Creek, Flag Mtn.

What a spectacular view and a wonderful ride to get there. We rode the loop from our campsite on Italian Creek, to Taylor River Road to Spring creek, where we caught our bag limit of trout. Continued on our loop back the difficult way to our campsite. Was an all day adventure and a perfect place to stop and look at the view. Dropped a travel bug.

Nice hide and we were fortunate that there are still some wild flowers blooming.

TFTC!! This was the longest walk SolderGrrrl and I have taken for the season at 4 hours round trip and 1000 foot rise. Reno Ridge was an awesome start for the summer hiking season. The cache was spot on and I loved the choice of location. I could see it coming up from a long way off. We had a beautiful day, not a cloud in the sky.
