Geocache Description:

This cache is in Fishlake National Forest and is accessible via an ATV/mountain biking/hiking trail. Once you get close, please do not attempt to ride your ATV/bike across the meadow...park it by the main trail.


This micro cache contains a log book and pencil. The real reason for finding this cache is the challenging ride (or hike) plus the incredible view across the valley. We almost always see deer in this meadow, especially at night.

Starting Points

You can start the hike or mountain bike ride from just below the Little Reservoir Dam. There is plenty of free parking and even a bathroom in the nearby day use/ campground.

ATVs cannot pass the closed/locked gate and will need to start from where the trail crosses Kents Lake Rd. (approx. N 38 15.749 W 112 29.525).

Alternate approaches- Cabin owners can enter the trail higher up (not far from the cache), but those not familiar with the area may find it hard to navigate all the unmarked private roads to find these entrances. You do not have to pass through private cabin sites to access this cache.

Difficulty by Travel Method

ATV- This would probably be in intermediate ride with some very steep sections that you will need to be in 4x4.

Mtn. Bike- I would consider this a very strenuous mountain bike trail. All but the experts might have to walk certain stretches because it is so steep and uneven. Take caution on the ride back down.

Hike- Not bad as a hike, although you probably would not hike this with young children or if you are not in generally good shape.
