Geocache Description:

We were enjoying our Easter weekend caching and discovering Millard Co. There's a magazine that lists some of the interesting spots to visit in Millard Co. The Ice Caves were listed, but they were not marked on any map we had.

From the Discovering Millard County magazine:

"Heading from Fillmore to Delta: go west from Fillmore on State Road 100 to Fowell, continue west until the road ends. Turn north, drive appox. one mile on a paved road until the road ends. After turning left, the pavement ends about 100 yards further, turning into an improved gravel road. Follow the road northwesterly around the lava flow. The ditch paralleling the left side of the road often provides plenty of wildlife to watch, such as eagles, hawks and pheasants. About 2 miles north of Fowell there is an interesting ice cave a short hike from the road. Look for a small bridge crossing the irrigation ditch on the west side of the road."

THIS IS THE CACHE LOCATION AND THE PLACE TO PARK. Now duely noted by a cache, so you can find the ice caves. A little less work for the next persons trying to find the ice caves.

"Follow a faint trail north, then west through tall sage brush to the inset of the lava-flow. Walk up a ramp-like lava cinder path and down into a sunken grotto on the other side. (Perhaps a tenth of a mile.) There are two old wood box-like structures at the bottom that act as entries to the cave/crevices. When you step down into the 3-ft-deep hole, you will be amazed at how cool it becomes immediately. Even though it may be 100+ degrees on the surface, you may be kneeling on snow or ice even in July. Shine a flashlight into the shallow cave an you will see icicles hanging down from the cave's roof."

WARNING: Snakes like this area!!!

WARNING: Cave at your own risk!!!
