Nice hike in a Denver Mountain Park.
We hid this cache on Halloween afternoon in Berrian Mountain Park, another lovely Denver Mountain Park. We weren't dressed in our costumes yet, although my sister looked like she was since she chose to hike in a pink leotard with high-top Hello Kitty shoes.

After you walk past the orange house just off the blue trail and ponder their drive up the hill in the winter, you are almost there.

Checked on this cache on a round-about hike to Berrian Scouts with evgnhiker. Hard to believe the container has been here for over seven years as it is in pristine condition.

I parked out on Armadillo Trail and followed the faint trail a while. Did not see any type of color or blaze marking the trail on the north side of the park. This part of the park was fairly wide open - looks like they've done some thinning and chipping in these parts. Lost the trail at edge of chipped area and bushwhacked down a densely-timbered slope to the cache. Lost of strange twisted tree trunks nearby. Logged it and had a snack, then started bushwhacking back up the hill. Had my dog on an wireless shock/vibration collar and it worked like a charm. He stayed close enough and didnt make me search the mountain for him.

All I could think of as I walked up and down the west-facing slopes of this park is "wow, sure is a lot of fuels lying about. It's a minor miracle this place has never caught fire.

A nice morning in Berrian Mtn Park today. Only saw 5 other hikers on a Saturday in July!!! Thanks to Denver Mountain Parks for allowing theses caches and the owner for placing them! A lot of fallen trees and hanging snags, so be careful in this area. Cheers!

Trail notes:
3.9 miles, 1800 ft gain/descent
First 3 caches in about 0.5 miles, then used Bella waypoints. Red and Blue both lead to Orange which take you near Bella.
Bella's first WP notes:
About 0.5 miles from last of early caches, stay on trail it will get you there.
Go straight on blue blazes for Happy Halloween cache and then up the orange blazes to Bella.
Turn left on red blazes for uphill to orange blazes steep climb to Bella.
Bella's second WP notes:
Follow blue trail to intersection and follow a couple of blues uphill to orange to top.

Wow! What a hike. Hard bushwhack up the mountain thru thickets and many downed logs. No idea where the best access might be, but it's not off the Evergreen Meadows road I chose. Perhaps a hint on a trailhead and parking would attract more cachers.

Cache is intact. Nice views thru some of the trees. Thanks for maintaining. K7
