Colorado Star #01 - Stars Across America Letterbox Hybrid

The Colorado Star GeoArt is part of a nationwide project to build stars in all 50 states - Stars Across America. The Colorado Star has 50 caches along with a Challenge Cache for a total of 51 caches. Caches #01 - #50 each have a different Colorado Fun Fact to entertain you between caches. Be sure to read them and learn more about Colorado! The Challenge Cache has Colorado statehood history. You might also find the Colorado Fun Facts useful for the Challenge Cache. All the star caches (#01 - #50) are letterbox hybrids at the posted coordinates and contain a stamp. Please leave the stamp in the cache. Bring your own inkpad and notebook.

Visit the Pawnee National Grasslands to experience the abundant wildlife including unique high plains bird species, spring wildflowers, and the peaceful serenity of the Colorado prairie. Plan on 3 – 5 hours to complete the Colorado Star series (51 caches). You must hike the series on foot approximately 7.5 miles total. Please dress appropriately and make sure you have plenty of water and snacks. Cell coverage is weak at best, your results may vary.
