This is a seasonal site as the Black Mountain road is closed from December through April. This cache is about 16 miles of dirt/mountain road and a high clearance vehicle is highly recommended. It is hot and dry in this country in the summer. Tell somebody where you are going and take plenty of water.
To get there when it is legal take the Black Rock Exit (36 58.9356 N 113 38.7383 W) south of St. George and the checking station on I-15 and go south. If you are hauling your ATV, there are places to unload on either side of the freeway. I don’t trust some of the riff-raff that travels the Interstate, so I drive up the dirt road a few miles to unload. I have more trust in leaving my vehicle alone in the backcountry.
Once on the dirt road you need to turn back to the east for about a mile. Just follow the white dusty road and watch out for 18-wheelers. You are heading right into a gypsum quarry and this is the road they haul it out on. If one of them have been there in the last 30 minutes just follow the dust cloud. Once you get to the quarry bear right around the big pile of gyp and watch out for the other guys in the oversized Tonka trucks. Go straight through crossing over their road between the quarry and processing area. About 100 yards after you cross their road there is a turnout to the right, and it makes a good place to unload if you are hauling your OHV/ATV/DIRT BIKE.
From this point there are a couple intersections that I’ll help you with, and then you are on your own. Stay left at (36 55.7262 N 113 39.3165 W). Go straight through to the west at (36 55.1640 N 113.8180 W) where the seasonal sign and a couple other signs have been trashed by some low-life. At (36 54.1530 N 113 40.6060 W) go around the water tank and corrals and continue to the west. At (36 53.9625 N 113.42.4590 W) you come to a gate and a maze of roads. Do not go through the gate. Turn right about 100 yards, turn left and take the road that goes up the hill. The others are all dead end I think. There is another cache out on Black Mountain beyond this one if you are up to it.
