This is one of the really interesting locations to hike to in the
Pikes Peak area. It takes about an hour to hike up to the old
timber flume used in the days when Clyde provided timber to the
nearby mines. The flume is in amazing shape and goes for quite a
distance up the mountain.
Please, please do not walk on the flume or take any
artifacts from the vicinity. I have had this concern expressed to
me and if this happens we may lose access to this beautiful and
very interesting site.(It is illegal to remove artifacts from any
historical site over 50 years old such as this one.)
The easiest way is to get to this cache is from old stage rd.
(It's about the same time from 67 or from Colo Spr) You want to
start hiking near the old Clyde town site (WP included) and just go
north up the drainage. The old log road went up this way but there
are only traces of a trail and the road. When we hiked this we went
to the top of the ridge above the flume for some great views and
then hiked down back to the road following the ridges to the
east.
