The cache is just off the Ringtail Trail in Douglas County Open Space. This trail is accessible by all non-motorized users either from the Indian Creek TH* ($6 parking fee) off Hwy. 67, the **Sharptail Ridge TH on Roxborough Rd. (horses & hikers only, no fee) or from Roxborough SP (hikers only, $7 entrance fee). For many cachers this is the backcountry but it is a favorite front country trail for equestrians.
*NOTE It is 5 miles one way from the Indian Creek trailhead.
**Hikers & horseback riders (no dogs or bikes) are able to get there from the Sharptail TH (7 miles one way) when it isn't closed for hunting in the fall. Check the Douglas Co. Open Space website for closure dates before heading out.
The only reason for the 3 star terrain rating is the distance to the cache. The trail is well built & easy to follow. The views on the way up from either direction are fantastic!
