Scenic view  Significant hike  Dangerous Animals 

This is a 9 mile Round Trip hike or bike along the gentle yet rolling Raleigh Peak fire road which runs paralell to Colrado Trail in Buffalo Park.  The views out here are hard to beat as you walk through the aftermath of the 1996 Buffalo Creek fire, and subsequent terrible flooding which resluted in 2 fatalities. You are searching for a Cajrrman-esque Trail Mix jar, full of goodies!  There is very little shade in this section of the burn scar, so please pack accordingly.  Happy Hunting!  

 

Osiris was the Ancient Egyptian god of the dead, and the god of the resurrection into eternal life; ruler, protector, and judge of the deceased. Osiris was the first child of Nut and Geb, and brother of Set, Nephthys, and Isis, who was also his wife. By Isis he fathered Horus. Osiris ruled the world of men after Ra left the world to rule the heavens. He was murdered by his brother Set, who later dismembered his body and scattered the remains. The grieving Isis reassembled the parts and magically brought him back to life. Since he was the first living thing to die, he subsequently became the lord of the dead. His death was avenged by his son Horus, who defeated Set and cast him out into the Western Desert. 

P.S. RIP ODB!

FTF @ 7:07 PM


Added these to my “FTF available” list and figured I’d never get out that way. In Denver this week at a customer and finished up early so I headed toward the mountains. After driving around and sightseeing a bit I realized I was 30 mins away from these. With no found it posts I head over. Got to the first cache at 5:36 PM. Heart sank a bit when I opened it and it was already found. Figured I’d try for the others while I was here. Nice long hike. Enjoyed the views. Got back to car at 8:38. 3 hours and 2 minutes round trip.

Quick find once at GZ. Thanks for the traceable. Signed log and moved onto the next. TYFC
