This cache is hidden along the trail in Sharptail Ridge Open Space Park.  This is part of a second set of caches in this series which are all along trails in open space areas west and southwest of Denver.

NOTE: The park that this cache is in is CLOSED during parts of September, October and November. Check with the Douglas County webpage for the Sharptail Ridge Trail for information about closures. Do not attempt this cache during these closures.

It is just under a 2 mile hike one way from the parking lot (waypoint provided). It is not a difficult trail and not much of a climb either although there are some nice views. In fact, there is a nice 360 degree view at ground zero.

On the inside of the lid of you will find a name of an animal that you should make note of because it will be important for solving the puzzle in a later cache in the series.

Beware of rattlesnakes in snake season!

Oh, and bring your own pen.

Nicely done. Signed log.

Thanks cajrrman for giving me a reason to get outside. It’s always worth it when you are enjoying nature. There is nothing better than acting like a kid again, digging through weeds and climbing trees, all to sign my name on a piece of paper.

Found with Cachly for IOS.

My third Trail Mix series find in the past week! Thanks for taking me to places I would have never gone to before! I'm getting closer to solving the riddles.

Sorry for the late log. Found this while riding Sharptail Ridge on the horses. It was a beautiful day to try out the new horse on a quiet and easy trail. Except for a hiker who was returning to the parking lot as we were leaving it, we saw no one else on the trail. Found this cache on the way back from Nelson Ranch with no problem. Cache and contents are in great shape. Thanks for placing this cache so that we can play!
