Geocache Description:


Easy to find cache in a shallow cave. Cool rocky outcrops around. Name means Secret Cave in Ute. Being in a not-heavily-trafficked area, beware of dangerous animals (bear, mountain lion, elk, moose). Requires some off-trail hiking, but no major elevation changes from parking area. Bring a bag for any trash you find! As part of Manitou Experimental Forest, there are old (1950s-60s) metal cans and other things around. Pretty wild imagining the equipment required for trimming the forest being brought in the area.

Here's the quickest way to the cache that minimizes fence crossings:

At the initial gate, keep right

When the trail forks, keep right again

After passing the second (third, maybe) gate, head uphill

 

 

Congrats to SuperDolph & Cached_Out_Colorado on FTF (bonus for finding on day of publishing :P)!
