Geocache Description:

Kemo Canyon is about 6 or 7 miles west of Golden on hiway 6. I suggest you park at or near 39 44.503 and 105 19.940. Then walk a few feet to 39 44.505 and 105 19.903. This is where the canyon starts.

This is a narrow canyon with several waterfalls. Springtime is a good time of year for this hike, because the water is up. For the first 400 yards or so of this canyon, you might want to put your GPS away. This way you can use both hands. There is alot of rock hoping at the start, nothing technical or even scary, but it's nice to have both hands. After a few hundred yards pull your GPS out, because you will need it to find the cache. Round trip it's just about 1 mile up to the cache and back. The original contents of the cache are as follows.
    Apack of Looney tunes playing cards on a key chain
    A pink, hot wheel
    Calculator
    Key chain
    Ruler
    Yo-Yo key chain
    Digimon stamp
    Patriotic pen
    Nerds dispencer
