This cache part of a series of caches along the Made in the Shade loop trail in the Royal Gorge trail system. The whole loop is approximately 3.5 miles long. This is a popular mountain biking trail so watch for bikes and if you are mountain biking, be sure to move your bike out of the way of other bikers when looking for this cache. Click HERE for a map of the Royal Gorge trail system. The caches on the south side of the loop should be easily accessible most of the year. Snow and ice tend to linger a bit longer in the winter on the north side of the ridge, so caution is advised in the winter months. Please stay off the trail if it is muddy.
Did you hear about the quarry that went out of business?
It hit rock bottom.
Ouch.
This cache might not be accessible during the winter as it takes snow a long time to melt in this location. It's there, you just might have to dig it out from the snow. Please hide well.
