GDEN-AVIL is located in the foothills of Rocky Mountains, about 40 km northwest of Denver, Colorado. To get there, I drove to Eldorado Canyon state park, and parked at the Crescent Meadows trailhead. I then strolled down the Walker Ranch loop trail, which snaked along the side of a mountain in the direction of the dashpoint. Soon I was as close as the trail would take me to the dashpoint, but still half a km away.
Suddenly, the dashpoint didn’t look so easy any more. The direct route to the dashpoint led down a valley with a creek at the bottom. I found a path through the shrubbery, crossed the creek, and started climbing towards the next ridge. But then there were another two steeper and more thickly vegetated drainages to cross before I could get within scoring distance. After climbing out of the third valley and skirting a rocky outcrop, I reached GDEN-AVIL, which lay in a meadow near a Ponderosa Pine tree.
It was perfectly peaceful at the dashpoint, surrounded by mountains with no sign or sound of human activity, even though I knew that there were roads, buildings, and people only a few miles away. Thanks for getting me out, Scout.
