UPDATE May 21, 2023. After 11 years this cache was muggled. I replaced it today and also replaced the cache mascot which had been missing for quite some time. Please put everything back correctly so the next cachers can have fun.
Canon City's Arkansas Riverwalk is a world class urban trail system and is a very popular hiking, biking and riding trail. There is a lot of wildlife to be seen here. White tail deer are very common. I've also seen red foxes, coyotes, bears, skunks, muskrats and many, many species of birds. When I was hiding this I saw a garter snake. If you see him leave him alone. He is completely harmless. The cache is located about halfway between the Sells Lake and Raynolds parking areas, so no matter where you park you are going to get some exercise. The cache is a little ways off the trail, but you still need to watch out for muggles. The terrain is fairly flat, depending on which direction you approach from. There are some tripping hazards and cactus so watch your step. There is no need to climb the steep hill.
