The States and Capitals caches are small 1.5 X 1.5 containers – no film canisters on this trail
Please leave the containers at each location as this is not designed to be a power trail where one can grab and replace the containers. We have included multiple pages for each log so that the log sheets will endure 100’s of signatures - feel free to add a sheet to the container if you come prepared with pre-printed logs, however, please leave the original logs in place so that we can avoid unnecessary maintenance.
The road is sandy/rocky in spots and we would recommend a high clearance vehicle.
Hope you enjoy a fun day in the desert as you find out a bit more about the 50 states/capitals – TVGA

The state is able to support the teams because it contains a large metropolitan area with a higher population than any other city within 550 miles. Therefore, many of the residents in the surrounding states support the teams in Denver
