Google maps shows there are structures around the cache. As noted, colorado springs razed everything down for the woodmen expansion and there is indeed a walking trail here.
The stormwater runoff from Woodmen Road, Stinson, Columbine Estates, Lexington, Rangewood used to wash down the side of the road. With the stormwater improvement,it will go into the detention pond where the water is treated before it gradually goes into the creek. Don't worry - it should be dry most of the time because it has a low-flow system in the bottom to help channel the water into the stormwater system.

Also - As part of the Woodmen expansion, as part of the city’s negotiation with the property owners when property was purchased for the expansion, as well as with Falcon Estates and other neighborhood groups, there was an agreement to construct a nature trail. It’s a gravel trail, ADA accessible, offering a nature walk through the Woodmen corridor.

Don't know what part of "nature" you'

So I’m not very good at these kinds of hides and usually spend at least ten minutes looking for even easy hides. But after two minutes, I adjusting my angle of approach and spotted the cache. My first thought was ‘Seriously? How didn’t I see that earlier?!’ Enjoyed the walk to get this cache. TFTC

We cached our way to the Colorado Springs area with several goals in mind. First there were three events that we wanted to attend during the weekend. We also wanted to work on our Planetary Pursuit points to earn the 10 souvenirs that are available. Next we wanted to get the new gorgeous GCCO coin, and finally we are working towards our 40,000 find BigSmile. SL

We replaced numerous caches that had numerous DNF's along with log and or containers that needed maintenance. There was also a nano container that we had to replace because we dropped the bottom of container and could not find it.

Thank you _Wolverine for placing this cache for our enjoyment.
