Located in Big Cottonwood Canyon at 7667 feet it is a short distance from a well established trail with a gradual incline. It's roughly 3/4 of a mile from the parking lot to the cache site, 1/2 mile as the crow flies.

The cache is in an ammo can with geocaching labels and the website address taped on the outside. At the time in was placed it contained a small pocket-knife, a waterproof cylinder of matches, a pocketwatch in a leather pouch, a BYU ball-cap, a handheld electronic football game, a Rusty's Offroad bumper sticker, a ceramic dog, 2 ceramic squirrels, a bottle of perfume, a myrtlewood container of perfume,a 338 Winchester magnum shell casing, and a small plaque, as well as a waitress's order pad which serves as the log book. A nearby cache is the "Meeting of the Glaciers" which shares the same starting point so here's your chance to score two sites in a short time. If you go in the late afternoon or evening your likely to see deer as my four year old son and I did. Enjoy!(p.s. this trail is closed to mountain bikers on odd numbered days if I recall correctly. A sign is posted in the parking area but I doubt the rules are always obeyed!)Also, this cache is in hilly terrain so good sattelite signals are sometimes hard to get. So don't give up too soon, just expand your search and use the hint! Happy caching!

Cache Logs

September 17 by peakbagginggeo (1957 found) 1455/17SEP2009...MY WIFE AND I WERE IN BIG COTTONWOOD CANYON TO BAG A COUPLE CACHES THIS AFTERNOON. GOOD HIDE. GREAT LOCATION. [view this log]

September 12 by Crazydcrane (21 found) I had been to quite a few caches with friends (before taking it up myself) and this is (by far) the oldest cache that I have ever been to. I just 'looked up' the oldest 'active' cache (GC15; Salem, Oregon) so you were not that far behind, considering the millions of caches that are out there now. I took a pog that was left by Darkfrost (last year) and left some REALLY nice baseball cards, (3): Mariano Rivera/New York Yankees and Chris Lambert to name two. [view this log]

September 5 by KingMan (398 found) My wife and daughters stayed up on the main trail while my son and I dropped off the edge and searched for this one. It started to get stormy so we cut our search short. I will have to come back and try again. [This entry was edited by KingMan on Monday, September 07, 2009 at 8:44:59 PM.] [view this log]

July 22 by katsbear (487 found) Nice day for an after work hike. Found 4 caches on the way to Dog Lake, including this one. Getting to this one was a challenge, but its worth the extra effort. TFTC [view this log]
