UPDATE JULY 2010: We have refreshed the geocache with NEW
Tiehack Geocache souvenirs (see image) and NEW camera.
You must hike, bike, ski or snowshoe along a single track trail to
reach this cache at about 10,800 feet elevation
(NO MOTORIZED VEHICLES ON THE TIEHACK
TRAIL).
Dogs and Horses are welcome on the Tiehack trail!
From Fairplay, Colorado, go SW on Highway 285 to County Road 18.
Follow County 18
1) <3? miles to the first forest service access road (on the
right) which requires you to start hiking, biking, skiing or
snowshoeing or have a high clearance vehicle in summer only. Follow
this road <1? mile to a trailhead... the road ends, the trail
goes left and right; GO left on the trail.
2) >4? miles to the second forest service road (on the
right); Follow this road <1? mile to the NOT OBVIOUS Tiehack
trail just over the ridge on the right.
Follow the trail from the east or west (easier) or go cross
country (much harder)...
The cache is an army ammo box near a tree. Sign in, take your
picture, take a trinket, leave a lapel type pin for our collection
and we will post a picture of them on the web.
This is a family project as we have a cabin nearby and we hike /
ski this trail 2 to 3 times a month. Have fun in our favorite
backyard.
