Geocache Description:

This is the fifth 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

This is probably my favorite of all the Price River View caches. The river winds lazily back and forth through here, and the view is excellent from the cache location. The area is somewhat remote, so come prepared for any eventuality. The road crosses several washes that are prone to flash-flooding, so a 2WD high-clearance vehicle is required to reach the cache, 4WD when wet. Or, the drive from Mounds is short enough that it would make a nice mountain bike ride. From the south side of the railroad crossing at Mounds, drive east 0.6 miles and turn right, then just follow your GPS.

The cache is located on the hill to the southeast from where the road ends. There is a well-travelled foot path leading downhill below the cache, but where it goes I have no idea. Please make sure that no part of the cache container is visible before you leave.
