This cache sits at the beginning of the Cathedral Valley loop if starting at the Caineville Wash Road by this cache. This is a 59 mile drive that can take approximately 5-7 hours if you do the whole loop and get out to enjoy the scenery. Cathedral Valley is worth the drive and time. You do not need a 4x4 to find this cache but to make the whole loop you will. Cathedral Valley has some of the most beautiful landscapes of anywhere in the world and some of the best in Capitol Reef National Park. Some of the sites are listed below. This is one of my all time favorite drives. This is the first of several caches you can discover along the loop.
