Near a location known to locals as “Inspiration Point”.

---

Follow the Limbaugh Trail (715) from Palmer Lake (see waypoints). You can also access the cache from the south via Raspberry Mountain, or from the west via Limbaugh trail starting at Mt. Herman Road or the Palmer Lake reservoirs.

Warning: most of the route isn’t dangerous, but the terrain immediately around the cache could be treacherous even in good weather. Be very careful and keep the kids safe!

As you sign the log, sit for a minute and see if you don’t get inspired. Here are a few inspirational quotations related to the Geocaching experience.

This is a new trail to these old Colorado climbers and we loved it. We started up the wrong way to this cache and another hiker suggested a better way. Still a lot of perspiration spent, but the views were worth it! Quick find after a careful crawl. Signed log and replaced cache as found. Thanks for placing this fun cache.

Found it while on a hike with the kids. Tough spot to get to.

Took the hardest way up, but it paid off

Out on a the first hike since the treacherous Tragedy cache last fall. I figured I'd be dragging Rick down on the climb, but this was much more doable than the hill that hides Tragedy. In fact the whole trip with searching and the round about path, which I calculate to be about 2 miles from his car to where we left my car. Awesome fun day even with the bit of rain we caught.

A little sketchy on a few areas getting around to this, but we didn't exactly follow the points listed. TFTC!

What a great cache! THeSKuLL and I decided to do a little hike around the area to try and work off some of this winter weight gain. I somehow managed to pack on 20lbs since last fall. I think too much turkey, ham and pie might be the culprits! Lol! Well we grabbed this was our second stop and proved to be the most difficult of the day. We had left the trail a long way back and scurried across the ridge to this. We of course ran smack into a brick, er, rock wall! With much perspiration we got to the top to enjoy the views and take a breather. Grabbed the cache and signed and stamped and replaced as found. Cache is in perfect condition. Took a few pictures and moved along to the next one. Thanks again for placing this fun and difficult cache!

This was a great spot to sit and enjoy the view. I needed to once I made it up here. Took a bit to find the cache, but all was in good shape. Sl, thanks!

Found it on a glorious day for hiking. We parked at the end of rock ridge road. Perfect cloud cover for a bit of bushwhacking, great string of caches along this ridge line, thanks so much for bringing us to this place. We would have never thought of hiking here without geocaching. Makes us love the game so much that it brings us to places we would never have seen before. Cache and log are in great shape. SL TFTC

We're not sure what you are talking about with the perspiration part? :) More like 6% for these mountain goat kids! Another fun hide then off to boat building and racing in the creek a half mile or so up the trail. TFTC on this fun day.
