The grandkids were here and wanted to hide a cache.  This is our first one and we wanted it to be kid friendly. It is not hard to find, hidden with permission of owners of Dripping Springs Resort. Park parallel along the logs, note parking waypoint. Do not park on highway or in business parking lot. A short easy climb will get you there.
The container is large,  not heavily cammo'ed  and hiding from Elmer Fudd!  Please try to keep the log dry, put the lid back on the container. 
My name is Thumper, welcome to my rocky home. I really dig  geo caching and hope you can find me.

Greetings from the UK?. We are on our holidays!!! We are on a 12-day road trip around Colorado, Utah and Wyoming (a geocaching road trip from Denver to Yellowstone and back again), staying in Air BnB’s en route. Day 1: One cache near the first Air BnB to get us started Day 2: Morning caching around Denver and then headed out on the Mount Evans scenic route ?Day 3: Denver to Colorado Springs, collecting a few caches en-route. Made a snap decision to head out to collect some earthcaches , discovered the amazing Garden of the Gods , Manitou Springs, and the lovely Memorial park. Day 4: A trip up to Pike’s Peak and then a slow cache and dash to Glenwood Springs ? . Day 5: Cached to Vernal via Craig and a scenic drive through the National Dinosaur Monument to Harper’s corner . Day 6: Set off from Vernal, visited the brilliant National Dinosaur Monument , then drove the scenic roadway to Rock Springs, more caching en-route. Day 7: Today was Wildlife Day! Rock Springs to Jackson, and the Teton National park. We saw: Pronged antelope, 2 Moose(s), Bighorn Mountain, Elk herds , an osprey . Day 8: The day we saw three bears !! to West Yellowstone, collected a cache in Idaho. Arrived Yellowstone late morning and had a fantastic time in Yellowstone , amongst the Bison. We had a lot of snow showers???. We watched Old Faithful and did lots of of geography homework earthcaches and virtuals . Day 9: A great morning exploring Yellowstone Park -tastic and loved the stroll around the mud pots. On the long, slow drive to Lander, were we spotted Pronghorns and Mountain Sheep – in the road! We did some caching en-oute, as well as stopping for some chocolates from the Cowboy Chocolatier in Meeteetse. Day 10: Today we met up with a local cacher, who had kindly offered to show us the sights/caches of Lander. And… had an amazing day, not only did we pick up some fun caches, we walked some beautiful trails, in great company and learnt a lot about the local history. Original Wildman was incredibly generous with his time and his hospitality. Day 11. A cache and dash to Cheyenne via Laramie, saw lots of Pronghorns and Jack rabbits , collected 23 caches and spotted some very large cowboy boots in downtown Cheyenne.
Day 12: Our penultimate day, and last full day started with a great breakfast at Epic Egg ,we then started the drive to Denver, with a final epic days caching as we had several challenge caches to pick up (with great D/T ratings) and some by Egreog, as his came recommended by the Original Wildman . We also decided after a morning urban caching to take a tour out to Estes Park , and collect some of Bug Rangers’ very creative caches . This meant that we arrived at our BnB quite late, but our hostess was amazing, and we then headed out for a late dinner, minding Meadowlark, which had fab food, and now pack to pack and log, before a last morning in downtown Denver – 38 caches in all today.

Cute cache guardian - swapped swag. TFTC ?

Another fun day of seeing Estes Park and finding caches in the area. Thanks to the CO who prepped and maintained this cache. The Tronaminers from Green River Wyoming appreciated your cache and the fun in finding it. Loved the cache protector and the area.
