This cache is on the Colorado Trail...park at the intersection of the trail and County Road 550 (Redskin Road). The hike/ride is 4 miles in, so expect an 8 mile round trip. This does take 2-3 hours on a good day.
Coordinates are for the ENTRANCE. Signal did not work farther, but the cache is hidden 20 feet farther on the GROUND. Be careful if it is snowy!

I'm planning on returning with CITO bags...didn't have enough pocket space for what was there...

Looked with all my scouts and no one found it from either side of shelter. Might be gone. Nice couple were camping inside and allowed the search.
DNF using a seventh galaxy!

I spent a long time looking but I couldn't come up with this one today. A great location nevertheless. With the melting snow and ice, I thought I might see an abominable snowman in there.
