1095 days ago, I started my caching career near this spot.  My first cache has been archived and I thought it would be fun to honor that hunt with a new cache on my 3 year anniversary. This is about 3/4 mile hike from the west parking lot.

With more than 2,400 acres of open space, William Frederick Hayden Park on Green Mountain is the second largest park in Lakewood. The park features a challenging network of multi-use trails. The summit, at 6,800 feet, offers unique and stunning views of the Denver metropolitan area to the east, as well as high mountain peaks to the west.

 Since 1972, the majority of William Frederick Hayden Park was donated by, or purchased from, the Hayden Family. Once home to the buffalo, this park now provides rich habitat for a diverse array of wildlife, including coyotes, hawks, rattlesnakes, bluebirds, rabbit, mule deer and an occasional mountain lion.

Trail maps are available on the "Related Web Page" link near the top of this page.

A good sized rattlesnake was close by, apparently guarding the sepent's den this time, so like last week pursuing this cache, th goal was not obtained. Maybe the Serpent ate it! IBBY

Found this on a sunny morning in early October! Great location! Log is almost completely full and will probably need to be replaced. TFTC!
