Well worn path. Very moderate ascent. Trail in the woods very well marked.
These outlots within Warm Springs are created to allow public access to the Pike National Forest across the Warm Springs subdivision. Container is a quart sized plastic jar, with a white lid. It is well hidden, but pause for a few moments, look around, the hiding place is obvious!
Contains log, keychain, trinkets. Pleas re-hide with rocks on top, critters will carry it off otherwise.

This is an obscure hike through thick woods from Breakneck Pass Road, much more challenging find using that route. Hike is less than 1/2 mile to cache.

A note about WARM SPRINS SUBDIVISION. Warm Springs is a gated, private mountain community which borders the Pike National Forest. When the entry gates are working, access is limited to residents, or those with the gate code. Each of the 5 Warms Springs caches are accessible with moderate hikes from Breakneck Pass Road (Pike National Forest Road # 175) in the Pike National Forest.

Breakneck Pass road is accessed by taking US Hwy 285 south of Fairplay past Mile Marker 179, to the well marked turn off to Weston Pass (Park County 5). Take Park County 5 1.7 miles (Across two cattle guards), then make a right turn (actually this is the very first right turn opportunity once you enter Park County 5) onto Breakneck Pass Road. This road is very rocky once it enters the Pike National Forest. If you are traveling in other than a high clearance vehicle, park at the Pike National Forest Boundary, and hike to the caches. You can snag the 5 Warm Springs caches, the Weston Pass base cache (GC1WTNK) and the Breakneck Pass cache (GC1RW2P) with a moderate hike. Caches GC1YQ18 and GC1YQOW are in the woods, all the rest are in clearings.

Found with my uncle, benj59, back in November, 2016. I have my own account now and I'm catching up on some logs. He's helping me write them. :) Thanks for the geocache!

Up here for a short post-Christmas vacation with my family. My kids, my mom and my brother and his family decided to take a hike. Since we’re staying in a house less than two miles from here I thought this would be a good one to target.

Although there’s no snow down the road, there is definitely snow along the trail! Some of us were a little less prepared than others. But we made it.

Nice spot at GZ and an easy find. Surprised it hasn’t been found in almost a year. I did drop a TB hoping it will get picked up relatively soon.

Great cache and thanks for bringing us up here!

Thanks for the hide stcroix2
