Very cool. Deserves a favorite point. TFTC! On the climb up, I fell, and used my hand to stop my fall. Unfortunately it put my hand straight into a bed of cacti. Not fun.

I enjoyed the walk along the old railroad grade, and the views from the top. Thanks for bringing me up here!

We targeted this cache to help with our D/T grid. We spent a little bit of time choosing a route that wouldn't waste us climbing time, but wouldn't make our kids orphans--ha! Gorgeous Colorado day with lots of beautiful colors. The view from the top is amazing! SL Disappointed to not find the Hippie TB in the container. Left nothing but a smiley and only took a few thorns and cactus needles ;O)

I missed it. I parked where I could, there are a lot of no parking signs now. I climbed as high as I could, stopped at the cliff before me, looked up,
and realized it was on the other hill. I laughed and worked my way down to the old railbed. I will tackle this another day.
