Geocache Description:

This is the first in a series of eight caches along the entire length of the Price River.

#1 - Scofield Dam
#2 - Bear Canyon
#3 - Helper Parkway
#4 - Farnham Road Overlook
#5 - Mounds
#6 - Humbug Flats
#7 - Book Cliffs
#8 - Green River Confluence

The Price River begins here at the Scofield Dam. The cache is located east of the dam, accessible by a gravel road that starts on the north side of the dam. This road is suitable for any vehicle, and ends at a wide gravel lot after only 0.2 miles. You can park in the parking lot, or anywhere else before you reach there if you can find room to pull off. There is a restroom here and a bridge crossing the river for great fishing access, or simply for a nice walk along the river.

The cache is less than 350 feet from the road. It's a short but steep and strenuous climb. From the hillside, you have a good view of the dam to the west, but the river is no longer quite as visible since I moved the cache on 5/29/2006.
