Geocache Description:


Years ago I noticed this road on the topo maps that ends at the top edge of some severe cliffs and I thought it would be an Awesome Spot and it certainly is. Fantastic views for 360 degrees. From Mount Timpanogas and the major peaks of the Wasatch Front to the peaks of the Uintah Mountains and then down into the Duchesne River Valley. You will need a 4wd vehicle with good ground clearance because the last 6 miles is quite rocky and there is a stream crossing and lots of puddles to cross. Please keep an eye on little ones because these are some really serious cliffs. The rock in the photo above would put DeViDe's Do You Dare cache to shame. I thought about setting the ammo box out there but I didn't dare! Thats about a 500 foot straight drop. We're cleaning out the garage and so I am putting out the gigantic ammo box that Jerrold21 gave us years ago from Dugway Proving Ground. Theres a bunch of hats and other leftover stuff we found lying around including our first Magellan GPS. There is also a new cachunut called ARBY and the cache log has hints on how to find another new cachunut called Shackle O'Neal.

Bring your camping gear, there are lots of nice shady places to pitch a tent. This is a fantastic place to sit in your camp chair and watch a sunset. There are no facilites so plan on primitive camping. Mockba, this will be a great winter destination for you.
