This cache is the fourth of four in the #11 series of Rocky Mountain off-road caches located along the challenging and often muddy Green Ridge Trail.
The Green Ridge Trail starts out from Laramie River Road off of Hi 14 on the East side of Chambers Lake.
This trail is moderately challenging and should only be attempted if you have the right vehicle and lots of experience.
This trail, besides mud has a lot of large and in some cases deep puddles. Plan accordingly.
The trail is lengthy at approximately 18+ miles.
This trail cannot easily be done on foot.
Do NOT do this trail alone.

Directions from Hiway 14: Turn right on Laramie River Road and go North approximately 1.6 miles to the trailhead. There are restroom facilities as well as a place to air down your tires.(See waypoint TRLHD)

Cache Information
From the "No Rocks, Just Trees" cache, travel Bearing 34* True

RM Off Road Series #11
Complete Cache Listing

1. Rock in the Trees
2. Tree in the Rock
3. No Rocks. Just Trees
4. Rock in Rock

Plan a whole day. The trail will probably take at least 7 to 8 hours and could take much longer if you have vehicle damage.
If you do have a break down and must leave the area on foot, follow the road.
Do NOT try to bushwack. The terrain on either side of the ridge is steep.

This trail is rated "Difficult" in the Charles Wells Northern book

Number 7 on a long day with Roo (the blue Rubicon), T, E, Mom and Dad! Took another carabiner and left a pencil and a clip. Thanks for the wonderful adventure! We will be looking up more of your series!

Other cachers may want to know that you can do this trail and come out on a road that will lead you back out to the Laramie River Road. The roads are probably on a topo map, but we didn't have ours. Just follow the trail after the last cache to the parking area, then it is about a 45-50 minute drive out. Sorry I didn't make a note of the road numbers, but just keep turning left and you will get there eventually...beautiful country!
