Located near a small gravel pull-off from Marys Lake Road in Estes Park. DO NOT CROSS THE FENCE. Please note that THE FENCE IS ELECTRIFIED, so please avoid touching it. Also use caution about the NEARBY CACTUS!

There is a sign on the fence with information about the alpacas which you will often see in the pasture. The land belongs to Switzer-Land Alpaca Farm, established in 1985, the oldest in the Rocky Mountain area. They have a herd of approximately 75 alpacas and 120 paco-vicunas. Originating in the Andes, these animals are prized for the luxurious, soft, "no-itch" fiber produced from their fleece. For more information about the farm and the animals, visit www.alpacaland.com.

NOTE: IN 2016 THE HERD WAS SOLD. No more alpacas to be seen.

Please be sure the cache is well-hidden when you replace it. Potential mugglers and walkers/joggers pass by often.
