Dragonfly Canyon #1 Traditional Cache
Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions
in our disclaimer.
This cache is located about 1.25 miles from the Potash Road up a lovely, isolated canyon called Dragonfly Canyon or Culvert Canyon. Some rock-scrambling is required in a few spots, but nothing technical or dangerous.
The trail that leads to this cache begins on the Potash Road a short distance past the Corona Arch parking lot if you are driving toward Potash (away from Moab). Park in a wide turnout at the coordinates listed below, walk through the "pedestrian tunnel" that gave this canyon one of its names, and continue up the canyon.
Last fall after placing my Corona Swimming Hole cache (GC1J62T), we continued about another mile up the canyon, and I really wished I had brought another cache or two! This spring we returned to check on the original cache, and then placed two more. To reach this cache, bear left when you reach an apparent dead end, and walk a short distance until the canyon dead-ends near another pool of water under what must be a spectacular pour-off in rainy weather.
The cache is a round black plastic screw-top jar about the size of a one-pound oatmeal container.
GPS reception is not good near the canyon walls, so the best strategy is to take a reading in the center of the canyon and extrapolate. If you need more help, the hint is pretty explicit.
