This is a medium-large ammo can cache. The location is near Cottonwood Lake. If you go in the winter be prepared to drive in the snow.

The cache was renewed with a new ammo box and cleaned up on 7-2-2012.

The coords are +/- about 10 feet with my Garmin GPSmap 62s. The canyon wall makes the GPSr jump and your accuracy, depending on model, may be a little different (my Magellan Explorist GC had a little more difficulty tracking signal at times).

Enjoy the cache!

It is located about 150 feet off of the road and about 10 feet up in the rocks. What are those logs doing there?

I had no coverage on my phone so we did this without any info including the hint. After a few minutes of looking, we had it. Gets a favorite!! Thanks

For many years I actively worked at reaching the summits of the highest 100 peaks in Colorado (the “Centennials”). Then some issues slowed me down and eventually forced me to stop this quest. But last October I got to the top of one of them, and I recently decided to give it a “go” and try for a few this summer. Mt. Ouray has been unfinished business for me, so yesterday icezebra11 and I drove over from Wellington/Loveland to hike up the mountain. We camped above Marshall Pass and made the nice hike to the top; I hid a cache there. Watch for its publication. Mt. Ouray, with an elevation of 13,971 feet, is the highest of the Centennials I had not yet climbed. I now have eight remaining Centennials, and expect to get to the summits of a couple of these later this summer.

Of course finding some geocaches was the other primary objective of the trip–especially, making the hike to reach sapphyre. And there were a bunch of other caches of interest in the area, including this one. We enjoyed decent weather except for very light snow that briefly hit us the morning of our sapphyre climb. And indeed, we found some nice caches! Icezebra11's log gives more particulars about our trip and finding this cache that I won’t repeat here. Thanks for this placement, dirtlevi!

Denali41 and I left our homes in northern CO yesterday for a fun-filled climbing and caching road trip to the Sawatch range. Our first goal was to climb Mt Ouray so we drove to Marshall Pass and then headed up the 4x4 trail to camp at the end of the road. We had a successful summit of Mt Ouray today and after returning to our vehicle and packing up, we headed for St Elmo to try some ORS caches.

We arrived at St Elmo about 3:30 pm and because our objective for tomorrow required driving to the Cottonwood Lake area tonight, we knew we'd be limited on the amount of time we had available to cache here. We decided to do some of the 17 series of caches. We hiked the trail because the rock garden was too much for the vehicle we had. After a few hours of caching near St Elmo we drove to the Cottonwood Lake area to find a place to camp because our objective for tomorrow is sapphyre.

On the way to our camping spot we stopped and made a quick find of this cache. Thanks dirtlevi for placing it!!!

My 600th! Found while caching solo during a week at Spring Canyon. Kinda generous to be solo and a staggering fat giant doing caches like this. Fun.

Parking was tenuous at this spot. The hunt was productive. Surprising number of mushrooms still left nearby. None edible..

Grabbed with Sissadies on a last minute trip to the mountains for some hot springs and geocaching. Signed "animjason?Sissadies". Didn't have luck with GZ so we spread out with no luck. Then just looked at area with my geosenses and walked right to it. Thanks.
Found using a seventh galaxy!
