Geocache Description:

This cache is located near the Royal Gorge Bridge west of Canon City. It is off of Highway 50, Royal Gorge turn off. It is in a City owned park area and goes through some BLM property.

After you turn off of Highway 50, turn left at a dirt road with the coordinates N 38 27.950, W 105 18.349. Proceed to coordinates N 38 27.779, W 105 17.665. This is the trailhead to get to the virtual cache. It is a steel gate with enough room for 3 to 4 cars to park in the immediate area.

You will follow this utility road most of the way to the cache area. Look off to the right occasionally and you will get some kick ass views of the Arkansas River and Canyon. The road ends between two com towers.

Follow the primitive trail to the virtual cache. The virtual cache is a benchmark set in rock at the summit. There are 4 characters above the word "Elevation". Please email me these 4 characters or a pic to verify your visit. Also, my elevation does not agree with what is on this benchmark (see pic). Does anybody else get something different??????

It is an approximate 2 hour, 3 mile round trip if you aren't in a big hurry.
