You have to work a little bit but this is one of the most scenic trails near the Denver area!
This cache is along the Chief Mountain Trail which can be approached two different ways. The semi-official trailhead is near MM 18 on route 103 (squaw Pass Road). The small parking space is on the south side of the highway and the trailhead is on the North side. The better way to start this trail is to take a small dirt road off the north side of 103 almost right at MM 19. Take this rough but passable road about 1/4 mile until you reach another dirt road near a marker "192.1". Park here and scramble up a short hill on the west side to an old forest road. From here it is approx 1.55 miles to the cache. The summit of Chief Mountain is only 0.15 more miles farther at 11,755 feet! One half mile up the forest road, the Chief mountain trail goes off to the left - it is clearly marked with a sign (with the wrong mileage).
From here go approx 1.1 miles to a large ammo can cache - plenty of room for goodies and bugs. Please tread lightly - the cache can be reached by walking just on the many flat rocks. It is within 100 feet of the trail. Even with some snow, this cache should be accessible.
There was a camera in the cache but it was stolen. I will try to replace it soon.
