The Cirque Traditional Cache
Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions
in our disclaimer.
The Cirque geocache is not difficult to find and is intended as a convenient stopping point for a rest break or lunch on the Barr Trail with a fantastic view. It is far enough away from the trail to be quiet but can be reached without stepping on any tundra grasses. Be a little careful with small kids or dogs because the drop into The Cirque is several hundred feet. Please replace the rock that holds the geocache in place because high winds in winter might dislodge it.
I've stopped at this place for years going up and down the Barr Trail because of the great view and the sense of remoteness. There are ways to get into The Cirque and several exits to climb out of it...we've done it in both winter and summer. Let me know if you want some beta on doing that. In the old days, Harvey Carter, a well-known climber from the Colorado Springs area, did a bunch of climbing routes on the big towers of rock in the SW corner of The Cirque.
