This cache is located in the Sluice Boxes State Park. There are two different access to this park and cache. You can park at the Riceville Bridge, 47 12.733N 110 56.087 W (Alt. 3991 ft)or further up the road at a parking area, 47 11.967 N 110 56.663 W (alt 4347 ft.). If parking at the bridge you follow Belt Creek, crossing it several times. The second parking does not require crossing the creek, but is a fairly steep descent and ascent. We walked in along the creek and back out the the steep trail. Both are beautiful hikes. This is definitely a late spring, summer or early fall cache. In the summer keep an eye out for rattlesnakes, there could be some in the area.
Belt creek is known for it's great fishing, tube floating, and mining history. If you continue up the trail there are remnants of cabins, railroad trestles and a tunnel.
The cache is in an ammo box. It contains: Insect repellent, fishing lure, compass/whistle combination, space blanket, light stick, carabiner, and log box with pen. This cache also contains our latest travel bug, the AFLAC duck.
Enjoy the hike either the upper or lower method, take a lunch and camera, and watch for wildlife and wild flowers. The wild crocus' were blooming today. Very pretty.
