Geocache Description:

This is a special cache adventure for you hikers out there. This 5.5 mile loop trail will take you through the little known and very scenic "Button Rock Preserve".

The City of Longmont owns and maintains the B.R.P. Be prepared for a unique experience while visiting this walk-in-preserve. Longmont uses the Button Rock Reservoir (now called Ralph Price Reservoir) as a water source for the city's water utility. Longmont also manages the natural watershed in the area and has a Forest Stewardship Program.

After parking at N40°13.705 W105°20.565 hike WxS past the Longmont Reservoir to the Sleepy Lion trailhead. Take this trail up to the cache (overlook) then continue on down toward the R.P. Reservoir. The trail will turn into a dirt road which will come to a marked intersection. Left goes to the reservoir and right is the loop road back to the parking area.
