There are a several ways to approach this cache, none are easy for different reasons. You can use this link for more info: http://www.zionnational-park.com/dfhistory.htm One approach is from Ashdown Gorge and ascend the Gorge from Flanigan's Cache by Toad. Toad is the only geocacher I know who has climbed to the arch and signed the log several years ago. DJandJules know of it and referenced it when they logged Toad's 'Flanigan's Cache.' A second approach is from the North. The road up there can be accessed from Summit. This is the easiest approach, but you need to be very careful because there is a lot of private property. If crossing private property make sure to have permission of the owner to cross those areas that are posted.
