Geocache Description:

When we moved to Colorado Springs a few months ago, I wondered where this trail went. With the incredible view it provides of Pikes Peak, I was surprised no one else had placed a cache here! The best part is it’s less than a mile (walking) from my house.

To find this cache, you’ll need to answer some questions as you walk. Park wherever you can (legally, of course). I used the crosswalk on Briargate Blvd. that’s near the first waypoint.

At N38° 56.612 W104° 47.067 you’ll find a bridge. Rather than be truly evil and ask you to count the rectangles, just write down the number of vertical posts holding the rails up. This is “H”.

In New Mexico, the Pinon tree is famous for its nuts. At N38° 56.549 W104° 47.059 there is an odd sort of tree. How many nuts are at its base? This number, plus 10 is FG, plus 10 more is AB.

When you get to N38° 56.548 W104° 46.875, look directly north. There are a certain number of large roll-up doors. C and D are both one more than the number. Add one more, and you’ll have the number you need for “I”.

A little further down the trail, you’ll get a great view of Pikes Peak. To narrow down your search area, you’ll need to count the number of triangles on the gate at N38° 56.425 W104° 46.845. If you subtract one it will give you J. If you add three, you’ll have E.

Now it’s time to put the numbers together. The cache is located at N38° AB.CDE W104° FG.HIJ

Please replace the cache exactly as you found it.
