Without having to travel too far from home, you will find your way to a remote and isolated location.
There are at least 4 ways to get here; probably many more. I will not give any suggestions: you need to grab a map, plan your own route, and write about your adventure in the log! The cache is located in a spot that, despite being surrounded on 2 sides by civilization, is surprisingly remote! If you're looking for a refreshing change you should like this one.
The cache is a very small Rubbermaid. Its size is in-between a regular and a micro, but it is not hidden in an evil way like a micro could be hidden. Thus the 'regular' designation.
At the cache site, go a few steps southwest until you have a clear view. Enjoy the scenery - you will not see hardly any signs of civilization in this direction - and experience the feeling of desolation.
At the very most, you might hear gunfire from the shooting range on Rampart Range Road, several miles away. But otherwise, it will be unearthly quiet.
Please be sure to re-hide the cache *exactly* as you found it in order to ensure the finding difficulty does not change.
You're in the middle of nowhere. Now get back! Brush up on your map reading skills, since you can get lost out here easily even with a GPS.
