One of the things I've always loved about Colorado in the 15 years I've lived here is all the parks and open space. Many of the parks have been in place for quite some time. But every once in a while there's a new park. This park is very, very new. In fact, I'd even say it has that "new park smell!" Or maybe it's just the plastic lounge chairs. Anyway, what better way to celebrate a new park than with a new cache!

 

This will be a very simple puzzle and one that will help you enjoy one of the very unique features this park has to offer. 

 

At the center of the park, there are three sections of "floating steps." I really don't know how else to describe them. The posted coords are a very good place to start. Just keep going past the park marker towards the pergola area. I know it's not technically a pergola, but you'll get the idea when you're there. Anyway, the floating steps are above the pond there and are a really cool feature of this park. All you have to do is count the steps to get the final coords!

 

If the total number of steps is:

44 - the cache is at N 39 36.152  W 104 53.034

45 - the cache is at N 39 36.167  W 104 53.043

46 - the cache is at N 39 36.175  W 104 53.028

47 - the cache is at N 39 36.177  W 104 53.050

 

You'll have to use some geosenses to find the final. Please be careful while calculating the puzzle and enjoy the park! 

Congrats to T5M and PoshCacher for floating their way to a FTF without getting wet in the dark!

Biking the area today. Thank you for the quick mystery. Gotta love when you take a stab at where you think it may be and it’s the first thing you touch. Thank you for the mystery

Thanks for your patience. Everything is good to go now. Cache was never gone! Sorry LostInDenver. That was just a legit DNF.

Fun puzzle and we even counted right the first time. After hearing so much talk about the puzzle challenge (finding a puzzle every day of the year) we thought we would jump on the bandwagon and try it. I'm sure it will take us more than a year but it is always fun to have goals. Thanks for bringing us to this park. A dreary cold day but I am sure this is going to be a beautiful park when the grass is green and the sun is out.

I had a lot of fun finding this one in my new stroller with animjason and Bhob. Loved the steps, but didn't try hopping them. Thanks for the fun new park.

Thanks benj59! Logged New Park! from a ninth galaxy using c:geo!

Went out for a couple of geocaches with "animjason" and "BearAdair" on a most pleasant fall day - this was the first of the two. TN-LN-SL. Thanks !

Fun find with BearAdair and Bhob. This is a cool new park, and a fun puzzle. Gets a favorite for bringing us here, and the steps.
