CACHE IS AGAIN AVAILABLE, AFTER TWO YEARS OF RE-CONSTRUCTION OF THE RESERVOIR!
IT IS A NICE HIKE AND A GREAT VIEW!
This is a hike of a mile and a half round trip on an easy trail at an altitude of 9200 feet.
If you are passing through Silverthorne on I70,take a break and check out Old Dillon Reservoir. It served the old town of Dillon, which now lies beneath the new reservoir. You gain only 140 feet as you hike through a pine forest and you have great views. South over Dillon Reservoir you see Baldy and Mt. Guyot (with the sloping top). Southwest is the 10-mile range. North is the Gore range, and to the east you see the twin 14-ers Grays and Torreys. Look for beaver-cut trees. You may even see a beaver.
Cache is an ammo box. Note: It is reported to be very full. Since I can't get up there for a few weeks, will the next cacher or two please help by doing a little cleanout.
Take the Dam Road and park at N 39 36.352, W 106 04.516.
NOTE: Log book #2 put in cache on 8/3/2005, replacing the temporary one kindly left by Kweezen.
