This cache has been placed with the blessing of the Steamboat Lake/Pearl Lake State Park Management. Thank you!

While this cache is technically on National Forest land, (by about 20') parking is in the State Park, so a pass must be purchased. $7.00 Daily or $70.00 Annual.

An easy hike (1 1/2 to 2 miles, one way) along an established trail at the beautiful Pearl Lake State Park.

Cache can also be reached by canoeing the lake, and climbing a short ways up the hill. <--Our favorite option!!!
Early mornings find this lake made of GLASS! You can almost count the needles on the trees in the reflection on the lake! It is one of the most beatiful locations in Colorado!

The cache is a camouflaged ammo can.

Original cache contents:

Sticky bugs
A box of 24 crayons
A few Glo-Stick Bracelets
Pencils
Magic Color-changing Markers

After getting the Anchors Aweigh cache, I continued my hike in the rain around the bend, over the dam and along the opposite shore. The hiking trail was narrow but wide enough to hike on without falling off the tread. As I approached GZ I hiked up hill a bit. The grasses were tall and wet and made for slippery surroundings. There were many possible spots to hide so I worked methodically to narrow my search. Lots of downed trees made it difficult to search even a few feet before having to hop over a big branch or a tree trunk. I eventually found it on the ground about mid span along a huge downed tree. My GPS device settled in about 10 feet from GZ. Container is in good shape.
