The cache is in a small hot drink/soup thermos, white and purple, and well hidden. CDs will fit if not in hard cases.
When you see the terrain that this trail negotiates, you won't believe the low rating. This is a really good trail that manages to pick a fairly easy path through some amazingly rugged terrain. It is reasonably well traveled and well marked with cairns with only one rocky section and one section where it follows a wash. In those two places, it is a little hard to see the trail, but cairns abound. Also, the elevation change is deceptive since everything slopes off toward the river. It doesn't climb as much as it looks like. On the other hand, don't even try this if you can't find the trail. (Those half dozen of you who could don't need my warnings.)
Watch for Desert Bighorn sheep, especially during warmer months when they stay nearer the water. Speaking of water, take plenty, especially if you try this during any of the summer months. Summer temps can exceed 120°. You will also get to see some old mining equipment. Be very careful if you poke around the old mine. It's steep, loose, and there are some very deep shafts.
You will want a camera along on this one! This is truly a gorgeous view not seen by many.
I have included some hints below. I STRONGLY suggest that you at least print them out and take them along. If you manage to find the cache without them, good for you, but if you can't, at least you will have them along. The cache is in a very clever hiding place. Hey, don't blame me :^) Mother nature created it, I just found it. I have also listed the coordinates for the best parking place below.
For a truly full day, you can also visit Ringbolt Hot springs nearby. This is truly one of Arizona's premier wild hot springs. The trailhead and parking area is at the 4.5 mile marker. It's about 2.5 miles each way, mostly walking down a wash.
For the adventurous among you, it is possible (I did it.) to drop off the SW corner of the overlook and drop down to the South and join the hotspring trail almost at the river. You need to be VERY careful and VERY sure-footed. If this interests you, e-mail me for more detailed instructions.
Enjoy!!!
