Geocache Description:

The cache is near Cache Creek, just over a mile west of the village of Granite, CO. Good gravel road and short hike (less than 1/2 mile).

To approach the cache site take Hwy 24 to Granite, CO. Just south of the general store take the gravel road marked Lost Canyon Road (CR 398) west for about 1.2 miles. Then take CR 398D south to the parking area for the Granite Cemetery. On foot follow the double-track trail that starts just west of the large "Cache Creek" sign. Cache is down the trail not too far from the creek. Clear plastic box has logbook and trinkets.

Cache Creek has been the site of lots of placer mining, so take your gold pan and try some of the gravel on the creek banks! Very tiny gold flakes can often be found with good panning technique.

On your return to your vehicle, note the very interesting old cemetery.
