creek and rocks
more rock
rock
waterfall under rock


A canyon nearby
A place of solitude
From the city nearby
With a stream bubbling by
Large rocks to rest on in solitude
And give thanks for days gone by
The Cog Train goes on by
Not knowing you are nearby
For the cache is nearby
And Barr Trail is your way nearby
So pack your goods and come on by.

 Hints

[Go up Barr Trail on past the first couple of switchbacks + some. Take the trail on your left at N. 38` 51.171, W. 104` 56.312. It will take you down to the canyon. When you get to the fence follow it to the right. Then the trail goes around the large rocks and follows the creek on up. The cache spot can be seen from the trail so be careful of muggles. The cache is covered with bark in a HEAD BUMP spot so be careful. Please cover it up completely again when you are done with it. Be sure to check out the rest of the trail and the creek. Have fun.
If you go left at the fence the trail goes back down to the Cog Train station. You can also go up that way if you like, it may be shorter then going up Barr Trail. You will have to park on the street below the Cog station and then walk up to the end of Ruxton Ave. and go thru the gate on the right there.]
Cache is under a rock overhang West of the trail.

A bit more challenging in winter but geosense got me to the correct spot. Thank you for placing this cache and helping to keep our recreation going.

After completing the incline, my quads were about to give out after the long descent. However, I could motivate myself a little further by taking this detour to get a smiley. I thought this spot would be great for a cache but missed it on the first pass. After reading the hint, I returned back to take a closer look and there it was! tft , L: Army man (Hooah!)

Thanks for the fun cache! Today a small group of us ascended the incline to set up a memorial "brunch" banquet for the hikers along the incline. So much fun and very rewarding to see all the smiles and hear the stories of everyone. After setting up Kerewin0430 and I headed to the summit. to grab a few caches up this way. This was the last cache of the day grabbed by everyone. Enjoyed the waterfalls and cool water below then came up to grab this one. Awesome spot! Great cache. Signed and stamped the log and replaced as found. All is well! thanks for placing this one for us all to enjoy!

Climbed the Incline with some good folks today as part of a photo scavenger hunt - we set up a large "banquet" of snacks for hikers at the Bailout! After the fun, RPieperCO and I grabbed a few caches on the way back down. I had never been on this section of trail before...what a beautiful area! Between the cool mountain water and the perfect weather, I could have stayed and played in this spot for hours! Someone had the right idea and had set up a hammock nearby. Thanks for another smiley on the map!

We hiked up Barr Trail to the top of the Incline this morning and grabbed this one on the way. Lots of possible hiding places near our GZ, but we eventually made the find. SL. TFTC.

I took the green car and left a little buffalo. Nice relaxing spot to listen to the stream.

Checked on my cache today and it is in good shape. I picked up some trash around the cache site but there is still a blanket there between the trail and creek. I did not have a big enough bag to take that. There is also a trashed camp site North of there near the trail coming down from Barr Trail.
