This is a series of quick and easy caches to highlight a remote, yet beautiful area in Northeastern Colorado. There is parking convenient to the cache. Make sure you are prepared with plenty of food and fuel as services are few and far between on the grasslands!

Pawnee National Grasslands is a 193,060 acre public land managed by Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forests. The Grasslands is known internationally for its bird-watching, especially birds of prey. Information about self-guided bird-watching tours is available elsewhere online. There are also spectacular wildflower displays throughout the Grasslands, the peak of the season is May and June. In addition, there are many interesting and unique geological formations, the most famous being Pawnee Buttes which can be accessed via a hiking trail.

We decided to head up to Wyoming for some caching today. Needed the icon for Wyoming anyway and this is a good chance to get it. We are visiting our Son and Grandsons in Lakewood CO. Cheyenne only about 1.5 hour drive away. Found lots of interesting caches today including some virtuals and also encountered a run of caches, to add to our numbers. All well at this cache and thanks for the new smiley. Hello from OKC.

Parked at the side road and hiked back for this one. No traffic to worry about on this deserted stretch of pavement. Cache was easy to find and in good shape. tftc

Working the area power trails to knock out the Mystical Creatures quest. This is a cut and paste due to the need for speed. If there are any issues, they will be added. Thank you for the series! Also thank you for maintaining these hides!
I walked down from the intersection. No telling how steep the bank may be under the tall grass

Had a great day today on this power trail. Started off cold and extremely windy, as usual in this area. These caches are greatly appreciated especially on my quest for 500 points for the Planetary Pursuit souvenirs. TFTC
