The hiding spot can only be accessed from the valley(from below the bluffs). The cache will take you on top of a rock fall area and close to a great place to look out over the huge boulders in the valley.
There are several options on how to get to the top of the rocks and you are welcome to choose your own path, but I would like to suggest a passage between the bluff and a bluff size boulder northwest of the cache. The passage has some steep areas and you will lose signal so when you get to the end just turn right and start hunting. It was tough to get a good reading on the GPS in the area and there are a lot of places to hunt. I will give a hint that will help a lot so if you want more of a hunt don't look at the hint unless you need it.
Parking information for this valley can be found on Filmy Fern Cave cache http://coord.info/GC39C2P so check it out so I don't have to duplicate coordinates in you GPS.
There are no trails in this area so you can pick and choose the path you want to take to see the things you want to see.
There are limited ways to access the valley so after you find all the caches, if you are interested in going up above the bluff to make a loop out of this side of the valley there is a rock filled crack you can climb out of the valley at N37 30.934 W88 42.110.
