Geocache Description:

Cache located in a beautiful grove in a valley the locals know as Little Valley. Cache is a small ammo box--another designer camo paint job by Aim High! Depending on where you're able to park, the hike may be 2-5 miles round trip with an elevation change of about 800-900 ft. It's a pretty good 4X4 road up from the lower parking location.

Don't forget to hit Jedi Test #2 Use the Force--GC6CB5, while you're in the area.

Welcome to Little Valley! Take some time to explore around. This is really quite a beautiful area. You may hear some water running to the east--this is just a little creek that runs down to the main creek that runs out of Davis canyon. Jubei's Jedi Test #2 is only a short distance from this cache so you'll want to hit that while you're up here to--there's even a grand waterfall by that cache. The directions that I'm providing are different than those for Jedi #2 but you can take your pick--personally I think that the hike from my directions will be better in the long run.

Probably the best way to get to the cache if you're traveling along I-15 is to take the Centerville exit, go east to main street and go north. Continue on main street north until you get to the border of Centerville and Farmington (street sign is 1700 South and 200 East, you're in the very southern end of Farmington). Turn right and start heading east towards the mountain. You'll hit a dirt road pretty quickly. Continue a small ways and then turn to the north. The first parking location you might use is at coordinates 40 57.184N 111 52.870W; if you have a car you will want to park here and unfortunately you'll probably add an additional 45 minutes to your hike. You will need a 4x4 to continue driving from this point.

Waypoint 40 57.680N 111 52.628W: Turn right
Waypoint 40 57.535N 111 52.622W: Turn left heading east
Waypoint 40 57.368N 111 52.205W: Parking location to start your hike up the trail. Go up the steep trail and this will intersect with an ATV road. Turn right on this road and just hike up the road.
Waypoint 40 57.590N 111 51.590: This is the main trailhead to head towards the cache. You should see a metal cover like over a water hole pretty close by.

Original Contents: Pretty much the same as all the other caches I put out. Some new items: waterproof matches; Remove Before Flight key chain; Transformer toy; small pocket knife; Pretty cool survival whistle with compass, signal mirror, and waterproof storage compartment; Magnetic thermometer. As always, be preprared to trade well--it's well stocked for a small ammo box.
