Thank you, stardancer2, for placing these caches. Based on log entries, it appears that this area might not be frequented as often as the others in GGSP. Great hide!

We did 3.5 miles in the snowy park today and got three caches along this trail. The cache names helped us with all the snow cover. Thanks! We decided to turn back here after our dog was attacked by an off-leash dog and got her nose cut open.

After finding this one, we stopped for a quick bite and a chance to re-acclimate to the altitude; we're visiting from GA and our mountains aren't nearly so high. I'm already seeing the logbook thin out a bit as we reach this point in the trail, but our goal today is the peak of City Lights, so we still have one more stretch to go!

I was out in Denver for a work conference (my first time in the area) and was joined by Lizzybeth13 to spend a few extra days visiting friends and finding caches. Today we took a drive up to this trail in Golden Gate Park to do some hiking and caching. I wanted to get some real hiking in while out in Colorado and this provided this experience :) The peak also gave us our highest-altitude cache find to date! Thanks for placing this one

What an adventure! I joined up with KalahariFox in Denver to stay with some friends out that way. We are Athens, GA based! Besides catching up with old friends, we decided to make a caching adventure out of the trip (duh.). We ended up grabbing many caches (some very desirable ones!) in CO, KS, and NE during our stay. My favorite part is always seeing what kind of wildlife we encounter. This trip we ended up seeing a pronghorn, prairie dogs, turkey vultures and even a prairie rattlesnake! So neat! Thanks for helping make this trip a total delight :)

We decided to take a nice hike up along this geotrail today! We weren't sure if we would get to the top and log all 4 caches, but in the end we did! All are in great condition. FP because this little nook was gorgeous and a great resting spot before heading to the top!

Great views along this part of the trail. Almost made it to the top before we decided to go back to the car due to a dog with something in her paw, and wanting to beat the traffic back through Denver.

Thanks for placing this cache!
