This cache is hidden along the trail along the South Platte River. It is “along the line” in between some other caches. You can get here by hiking or biking or even kayaking. No need to get wet unless you want to, though.
This cache is the rehide of another cache of mine that I archived because of the lengthy closure of Waterton Canyon on the other side of the very same reservoir. That one was called Waterton Side Trail #3 (GC1JBB6). It’s the same container – a former peanut butter jar that has been camoed.

The trail that leads to this cache is what remains of the old Colorado and Southern railroad grade that went through Waterton.

You can get past the fence by climbing over the stile. If the water is not too high in the river, you might be able to go around the fence closer to the river.

There are some benchmarks along this trail. Some have never been found or logged as of when this cache got published.

Be sure to check out the arch along the trail right after the cache. It is very interesting behind it. You can go through the arch and then veer left to get to the cache.

 Hints

It's in a nook in the rock about 10 feet above and 30 feet from the trail. There is a rock in front of the cache. It is behind an old 3 foot telegraph pole and there is a railroad spike embedded in the rock right by the cache.

Another fun find with Bhob on this trail after doing another trailmix cache. Enjoyed checking of rail remnants.

Arch was nice as well.

Thanks cajrrman! Logged Along the Line from a seventh galaxy using c:geo!
