Geocache Description:

This one is a nice short walk with a good view of the area surrounding the cache. It can be a quick one to add to your list if you are in the Nederland area for a day of cache-bagging.

If you follow the directions I provide, it will take you on a short loop on old logging trails for most of the way. Glacier Lake is on private land, and although you will have a nice view of it you will not be able to visit it. If you choose not to follow the route I provide below, do not approach the cache from the SE in order to avoid the private land.

For parking, turn east onto a small dirt road off of Hwy 72 at N 40 01.456 W 105 30.945. Watch carefully as this comes up quick and is very easy to drive by the first time. Take a quick right and park at N 40 01.415 W 105 30.857. The dirt road is very easy, and the steep part at the turn off is the toughest part – most cars should be able to handle it. However, if you prefer not to do the dirt road you can park off of Hwy 72 at N 40 01.360 W 105 30.903 (don’t block the gate), walk north across the road and into the woods to the suggested parking point.

From the suggested parking point, head N.E. At N 40 01.443 W 105 30.816 the logging road should begin to become apparent. Follow this track NE, then N until N 40 01.670 W 105 30.700, where you should turn east.

At about N 40 01.585 W 105 30.421 leave the trail and head for the cache at coordinates given above. You can leave the trail a little earlier and it will be a bit shorter, but also a little bit steeper. Cache is a green ammo box with "GEOCACHE" written on the sides.

After finding the cache go to N 40 01.521 W 105 30.553 . Here, you will be near the corner of the private property, and you will also find a trail to lead you towards the west. At N 40 01.564 W 105 30.670 you will take the trail SW back down to the parking area.
