I've been in colorado since 2012 came over to Ft. Carson with some very great people even after we all got out we have stayed close as family. We started to hike again and decided that out first Geocache should be one that we all participated in. It's on the top of Red Mountain its a short hike but a great view thats worth the climb hope everyone enjoys! Has some SWAG.

DNF feel we were close; but rain came in like a vengeance! Beautiful view!

Looked around, didn't find it. Thought about dropping my own replacement geocache to claim the find, at least that's what Back Country Horsemen did.

This one appears to go missing frequently...at least two other cachers have dropped fakes, but I couldn't find any of them. I DNF'd another one at this same location many years ago. Great hike. Not so good for hides. Good to get out either way. TFTC.

For several weeks icezebra11 and I have talked about getting out together for a day of cache-finding. Today it happened; we drove down from northern Colorado and had a great time hunting down caches in the hills above Manitou Springs! We started the day on the Red Mountain trail and ended with a long hike on the Section 16 trail system. We found some great caches, took in a brief afternoon rain spatter and hail flurry, and had a fun, memorable day together. Each of the caches was hidden in a marvelous location, and some required a bit of dedicated work to reach them. All-in-all, a super day of geocaching. Thanks to each of the cache owners for hiding and maintaining the caches we found!

We located this cache easily, just after gathering the needed information for the nearby Redstone Castle virtual. I wish, while planning, that I had paid more attention to other close caches, because it would have been nice to have made the short hike over to Colorful Colorado--Red Mountain cache, too! We were so close...

A couple weeks ago Denali41 and I made plans to travel south today to the Pike's Peak/Colorado Springs area to go after a bunch of caches, starting at the top of the peak and working our way back down the mountain toward CS. Last night I texted my son who lives in the Springs that we'd be there today and asked if he wanted to hike with us in the Devil's Playground area. He said "good luck" because the Hill Climb was happening today. So we had to alter our plan to eliminate all the caches above the toll booth. We still had a full day of caching, as we fully expected we wouldn't be able to get to all the caches on the target list, even without the caches on PP.

A trip up to Redstone Castle and this cache was our first stop. We made the nice hike to GZ and gathered the info for the virtual and located this cache. Thanks for placing it!!!
