From the web page for Round Mountain:
This temporary opening enables visitors to hike the trail for a few weeks - until the trail is closed again for another project from spring to summer. Closure dates coming soon. The trail head will be subject to additional closure pending the start of a pipeline reclamation project to remove the former hydropower plant supply line. Thank you.
So double check to see if the trail is open before you try for this cache or contact me and I will let you know the current status of the trail.

Greetings I'm Heartland Cacher, one of the volunteer reviewers for caches submitted to Geocaching.com.
We are doing a check of caches that have been disabled for an extended period. Please maintain this cache and post an appropriate note to the cache page.
As stated in the cache listing guidelines https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines#listingmaintenance Disable a cache page when the cache is not available or you need time to fix reported problems. A cache page can stay disabled for a reasonable amount of time - generally up to four weeks.
PLEASE NOTE:
Today's notice is a friendly reminder only. Do not reply to me directly. Rather, please go to "Log geocache" (upper right hand of the cache page) and choose "WRITE A NOTE" from the drop down menu. Please do not use the "OWNER MAINTENANCE" log until you do the maintenance and the cache is ready to be found again with a status update and any intention to revive the cache. Several reviewers participate in cache maintenance tasks so a log posted in this manner is the best way to get your message seen. Without a log posted you risk having the cache archived.
If you have disabled this cache for the winter or a season, please consider this a reminder to post a notice for when you expect the area to re-open. Re-activate the cache if the area is actually open again.
After you have checked on it and it's ready for seeking again, great! You can re-enable the cache page http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 by clicking the link under the cache name or by checking the box that says the cache is active. If, however, you discover that the cache is missing and/or you decide not to replace it, then please remove any remaining pieces of it and archive it. This will open up the area for other geocachers to hide their own geocaches. You may also need to digitally relocate any trackable items still listed here. If a "Needs Maintenance" log was posted, you will also need to log an "Owner Maintenance" log to clear the "Needs Maintenance" icon from the geocache page. http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404
I want to thank you for the time that you have taken to contribute to geocaching in the past and I am looking forward to seeing your cache up and running in the future. If the cache is not maintained or the status is not updated, it will be archived. Thank you for understanding.
If this sounds like an automated email template, that's because it is. I apologize for that but the volume of messages we get is such that templates like this make the process much more efficient. Thanks for your understanding.
I look forward to hearing from you. Do not reply to this email. It is sent by a no-reply mailbot so I won't get it. To respond, please do NOT send me an e-mail or a message center conversation as they lack needed functionality for reviewing. Leave a new "Reviewer Note" log here on your cache page. If you're not familiar with this process, see the instructions https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=97&pgid=74. I have your cache on my watchlist, and I will receive a notification when you write your note.
"If a geocache is archived by a reviewer or staff for lack of maintenance *it will not be unarchived."*
Additionally, please note that if I've not heard from you in 4 weeks, I may be forced to archive this cache. Don't let your cache get archived for non-communication

Your friendly Geocaching.com Reviewer

The Round Mountain trail head will be CLOSED January 4 - February 16, 2019.
The Round Mountain trail head closure is due to a forest mitigation project under the direction of the Big Thompson River Coalition to help reduce fuel sources in the event of a wildfire. The trail head will be subject to additional closure pending the start of a pipeline reclamation project to remove the former hydropower plant supply line. Thank you.

Thanks for the cache. I had found a few of the images on a previous hike, but didn't have the time or energy to finish that time. Today I was able to figure out the rest of it on the way down from another cache. I hadn't really been sure how this cache worked, but figured it out today. I had been making it too complicated. Found the cache in good condition. Popular day on the trail, lots of hikers and dogs.

Out doing some hiking and caching. This is a fun cache. Missed the 9th item on the way up, but that was okay as we wanted to work on another cache. Heading back we had figured where we had probably went wrong and we were right. After a bit of wandering we spotted it. Thanks for the hide! Gets a favorite point.

Found with Cache U on a beautiful morning hike. It was nice to be out and about again, and this was the perfect adventure. We enjoyed the challenge of the hunt and even more the find. We're looking forward to Images II!

Found with Sam_I_AM while she was doing a recovery hike of her own. This was the perfect distance and difficulty for her first outing in awhile. Naturally we went farther than we needed to, but Sam_I_AM spotted what we needed as we stopped and pondered where to go next. Cache is in good shape, and we will move the geocoin on. Thank you for a most excellent caching experience!

Took a stroll up the hill as part of my recovery hikes. Left a new pen for the next cacher that likes to hike. And dropped off a nice geo coin.

Leave it to Tahosa and Sons to come up with a great way to cache with a twist! Thanks for a wonderful experience, a favorite point is well deserved. One extra challenge is trying to look at your surroundings without stumbling over rocks on the trail ;-)

Made a group hike on a lovely spring snowy day. Lots of caches in the plan and lots to keep track of and pay attention to while also concentrating on breathing and putting one foot in front of the other. Loved the log image. I actually stopped and looked in it before realizing it was one of the images because of course, that would be a dandy hidey hole and since becoming a cacher, I notice those things. Thanks for the fun and adventure and another fine cache.

What a fun way to find a cache. Hiking with a group today working on multiple caches all along the trail. Was able to work through this one and find the final.

This was a great and unique challenge. The final took some time and searching, but I prevailed. Earned a favorite. TFTC

Great cache! I've never seen one like this before! I found most of these on my own and then luckily I had my wife with me because she spotted the second to last image that was giving me trouble. I love these caches on round mountain that have these creative elements to them. I call these "epic" caches!
