This cache is a fairly straight forward Letterbox hybrid using all virtual stages in order to locate the final. Make sure to bring your stamp! There is a pretty good walk associated with this one so be prepared to walk for about 3 miles round trip.


Historic Highlands Ranch is filled with haunted locations. Deep into the Back Contry trail, it is said that the spirits are set free to roam on brisk fall nights. This is where Halloween Town is located. If you dare search out Halloween Town, you will be rewarded handsomely with your pick of the spirits' treasure! Set out with your geocaching group on a beautiful colorado day and try your hand at locating the spirits' stash! 

 

Highlands Ranch's only Letterbox Hybrid! 

 

(Necessary to find cache) How to locate the treasure: 

#1) You start from Dad Clark Park trailhead at the posted location. Head south up the dirt trail on the right. 

 

#2) Head forward in the trail up the hill. If you pass over the rock patch on the trail you're headed the right way. 

 

#3) When you come to a 2 way fork with a wooden trail sign, go right onto back country trail. 

 

#4) You'll reach a trail crossing with a green gate on either side, continue along the trail you're on.

 

#5) You're going to continue to walk around a 1/3 mile and you'll come up on two sets of power lines next to each other running over the trail.

 #6) Continue on the trail past the power lines until you located the "Mile 8" Marker on the side of the trail.

#7) Go 0.07 miles from the Mile 8 sign. The cache will be located on the right side of the trail at ******* curve with a clear view of Zuma's Horse Rescue to the West.

Congratulations!

Where oh Where Do I start? First off I have seen this one on the map for a long time and never got around to doing it. As to start this is my first letterbox geocache so I was indeed excited to see how it would play through. As of this area where the geocache started at I knew it very well so I didn’t have to pay any close attention to where I was going because I do ride this trails all the time and am very familiar with this cache zone area. So over the past few months I haven’t got out to many caches because of the weather but now it has been warmer up a lot and it was about time to ride these backcountry trails. ON the Way to this geocache I picked up another one that I have been to before but have ended but luckily today I made the find on that one. Then I started to bike to this one and I lost phone connection so I had to ride up a bit more to reconnect and then I just took a picture of the geocache page for the last directions to get to the actual cache container. As I was biking to the cache I only had to locate the power lines because like I said before this area is well known to me. So once I found the lines I saw the marker mile 8 and started to bike towards the cache. Since I still didn’t have any phone connection I kind of just eyeballed .07 miles and was able to figure out where the cache was hiding. I got to the guessed cache zone and did see the Zuma’s horse rescue and had a strong feeling I was close. Then boom after 2 minutes I quickly found the cache and I was surprised and happy by the type of container. I signed the log using my stamp tftc tnln sl.

So glad to finally spot the cache. I usually ride this trail & would have enjoyed riding to this one but time just wouldn't permit it today. Picked up the TB. This was probably the furthest distance for a LB.

I think I signed this one back in November. Not sure why it never got logged. Tftc!

I was in the mood for a hike today and this one fit the bill. I parked by the high school and hiked a total of 2.76 miles to find this cache. Enjoyed the hike on a chilly New Year's day. The sun was out and no wind made it even more enjoyable. Nice cache here. I traded TBs.
