This box got damaged and has been pulled. I do not plan on replacing it.

Berry and Bird
Cherry Creek State Park letterbox. This box does have an approved Cherry Creek State Park permit.
A few words from our fine friends at Cherry Creek State Park...
*Park pass required on all vehicles
*Vehicles may not be driven off of designated
roadways while placing or locating boxes
*No vegitation may be disturbed, removed from trees
or pulled from soil to hide boxes
*All holes must be filled in after removal
*NO altering or damaging State Park property
*Boxes may not be placed in animal habitats
*Boxes may not be placed on animal and/or foot
trails or anywhere in the campground or picnic areas
And now, the moment you have all been waiting for...
For those of you that have been to my other boxes and expect nothing but amazing from me, take it easy on me with this one OK. It is like the second stamp I carved - ever! ...I also received a little post letting me know that there is a visitor from New Zealand in the same area. Be sure to stop by and visit the kiwi's nest while you are there!
Difficulty: EASY, take the kids, have a great time. This trail has been reported to me several times as being muddy or downright marshy - take care about going in the spring or after a good rain.
Distance to boxes: Maybe 1 mile, 1.5 round trip for both boxes. Although the park is leashed pet friendly I did notice a sign advising that dogs are not welcomed on the wetlands trails...
This is a microbox/regular box combination. The main box's stamp is quite large. You will need about 1/4 of an 8 1/2 by 11 page for it to fit comfortably.
Cherry Creek State Park is about 1 mile South of 225 off of Parker Road. Take Parker Road to the Lehigh Street entrance on the east side of the park. The entry fee is about $6 during low season and $7 during high season months.
After going through the entrance station turn left at the first intersection. Pass the turn for the park office and shooting center and then park in the first parking area on your left. Take the concrete path on the East side of that lot, walking south.
In a short distance you will come across a dirt side trail marked as a “wetlands preserve trail”. Take it. At the first fork in the trail go to the left – staying on what appears to be the main trail. When the trail dead ends at a stand of cat tails a crooked tree will point towards one tall and straight where you first box of the day is hidden on the far side sheltered under a pale green rock. Please recover the box. Return to the main paved trail and continue south. …Keep watch as my son and husband found a large bull snake in the grass when we planted this box… a nice fellow who visited with us for a bit and then slithered off hissing that he was late for a meeting with a toad.
After some distance you will come along a wide dirt side trail also marked as “wetlands preserve trail” that is marked about 100 yards in with two octagon shaped markers. Take that trail into the trees. Ask the troll kindly if you might cross his red boarded bridge. Pass the 7 and the 6 then turn right at the next intersection (there will be a wide bench on your left). After turning right at the bench wind through one section of trees and willows that come right up to the trail on both sides. You will open up onto a nice meadow that gives you a view of the sparkling waters and the dam with its tower before you come upon another wide swath of thick willows and trees that close in on the trail. On the right is a clump of trees with two larger trees that are a bit further off the trail. Here, behind a trio of trees, in the group that are closer to the trail than the two larger trees, that come together as one trunk you will find your second box of the day hiding beneath a sawed log and some shredded bark. Please, please, please recover the box well, rehiding it better than you found it.
Thanks! Aljan
