Small cache on a Ouray Co. mesa. CPW may close this area from Dec 31 through May 1, though this policy is not "cut in stone" apparently. One can check with the CPW yearly publication for restrictions. Safest policy is to bypass this cache during those times.

Cache is on top of a mesa just off Ouray CR 4 that turns into CR 4A. A little past the sign that says 4A, there is a trail (just before the road slopes down) that goes up the mesa. Park at this point. Once on the mesa, go .3 miles along an old track to GZ. The cache is in a WMA but is in a "safety area" according to posted signs. Despite, please be cautious during hunting season. It might even advisable to wear "hunter" orange or other electric colors in the fall. The cache will not be bothered by snow, but the trip to ground zero could be "iffy" with snow on the ground. Enjoy the walk and vistas at the edge.
