Another interesting spot along the historic Arkansas River Conduit
The Arkansas River Conduit was constructed in 1904. Snaking for 40 miles across the prairie, it brought water from the Arkansas River to ponds that provided a ready water supply for the huge Colorado Fuel and Iron steel mills in Pueblo. The channel was an open canal most of the way, but in some spots it was lined with concrete, in other places it was a concrete tube, called a siphon, that brought the water across the bottom of canyons or low spots. In other places the water flowed through tunnels cut through bluffs. The conduit was in use for more than 40 years. Now it's an often mysterious ruin. This cache can make a 'two-fer' w/ the nearby 'Call Our Bluff' cache! Valid hunting or fishing license required! This geocache is located on a State Wildlife Area or CPW-leased State Trust Land.
