Flash Mob at the Barrier Lake Viewpoint Event Cache

Come on out and enjoy a Flash Mob at the Barrier Lake Viewpoint! The viewpoint on the Prairie View Trail should provide the ideal location for viewing the area and chatting with your caching buddies at the top. Care and attention will be needed on this hike due to snow and icy conditions on a steep winter time trail. The use of micro spikes and trekking poles are highly recommended for this hike.
