To begin this 'Night Cache' park at the Rifle Arch Trailhead. It's about 5 miles North of Rifle on Hwy.13, the parking coordinates are shown below.
The terrain is easy to navigate; no hills and not very rocky. You'll be following a game trail much of the way.
From the gate at the trailhead follow the established trail for about 3/10 of a mile, passing 3 reflective BLM trail arrows along the way. Before you reach the fourth arrow shine your flashlight around and you'll see 1 white reflective 'trailmarker' on the right side of a cedar. This is the location of the posted coordinates and where you will leave the Rifle Arch Trail to start the Wombat Walk.
The 'trailmarkers' are all placed in trees and designed to reflect light directly back to it's source, they work best if you hold your flashlight at eye level when searching for them.
From the starting point shine your light around until you see the next white marker. Follow the trail of single white markers, stopping at each point and searching for the next until you reach the tree with three markers, one white and two brown. While standing there, shine your light around until you see a bright orange marker...this is the location of the cache.
The cache is a camoed coffee can with room for trading items.
On the return trip, the markers are placed so they will lead you back out as well.
Enjoy the hike, but keep an eye out for the Wombats.
Congrats to the go_pokes on the FTF!
