Geocache Description:

This cache is located off a hidden trail in Button Rock area west of Lyons. This one will challenge you physically and mentally.

A website called Front Range Bouldering once described an area called The Lion's Den. It contained a description about how to find the old 'Sleepy Lion Trail'. If one can find that information follow it to the area near the 'Practice Wall'. Once you find it you will be in the general vicinity of the cache. The cache is located between several rock out croppings and in fairly heavy timber. My GPSr Error was 60-70 feet so take this into consideration. I've posted four readings in the hints to help.

This is an off trail cache but involves no 3rd, 4th, or 5th class climbing. The terrain is acutally fairly gentle if you take the easiest route. I've rated this at a 4 because it is easy to get off track returning to the hidden trail. Being off track could easily lead to the top of a cliff. Take care descending!!!!
