Warning

Please note: To use the services of geocaching.com, you must agree to the terms and conditions in our disclaimer.

Located at the overlook into Desolation Canyon on the Green River.
From Wellington Utah, take the Nine Mile Canyon road. Travel through to Gate Canyon, then on to Wrinkle Road. Continue towards the Sand Wash road. As you near the top of Sand Wash before the intersection, look to your right for a side road that heads eastwardly. Out on the plateau find the dirt airstrip. This is used occasionally, so watch for aircraft too! This is a beautiful view, and worth the effort. On the return you can stay on Wrinkle Road at the head of Sand Wash, and drive to Myton, and US40, or track down Sand Wash to the boat launch in Desolation Canyon. Nice campground, rustic cabins to look at and a monument to J.W. Powells 1869 trip down the Green River. Happy caching.

We were here this weekend.... looked up caches along the way but forgot the list and couldn't find any internet connections in Wellington... such a shame- so close. Not sure if/when we'll be back. With rain expected Sun a.m. we decided not to stay at Sand Wash- headed up on top and out in the morning. Quite a trip, the roads are well improved for the passage of large trucks- not sure that is a good thing... but we didn't encounter oil trucks on THIS stretch of road. Nice.

We stopped by this cache on our way to raft the Green River through Deso and Gray Canyons. Thanks for the nice views.
Thanks for the cache,

The last time I checked, the cache was there. Admittedly that has been a while ago. It's stuck down in the rock pile, so that may make it hard to see. Good luck.
