Update: the elves have been busy. Evidently they did not like anything intruding in their area. They magicked it away, and it disappeared. It has been replaced not far away, to the northwest of the original location, in an spot less likely to be in muggled. Trade items have been replaced and two TBs are waiting to be picked up. The original GPS coordinates still take you very close, especially since they bounce around a little in this area.

The terrain difficulty has been increased slightly since there's now a small scramble to get to the cache.
 

This cache is named after a beautiful place along the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon, accessible only by a 6 or 7 day hike, or a quick jaunt up Royal Arch Canyon from a raft.

This cache is much more accessible. It's only about a quarter-mile hike up the official trail, with just a little elevation gain. Don't let the cow trails confuse you. The trail can be muddy after rain or snow.

The elves of Red Canyon are hoping for visitors, so they begged for a cache here. If you approach quietly, you might even see one.
Please replace as found, so it's not too obvious.

It's starting out crammed pretty full, including a green creature for First to Find and a couple of trackables.

if you want more of a challenge, continue up the trail to Pandy's Trilobite Hide.

Enjoy your visit. Please replace as found.

I was already making dinner yesterday when I saw the notification for this cache, so I decided to come out this morning. I didn't refresh it this morning and didn't realize it had already been found. Still I'm glad I got out and hunted for it. I'm glad the ground was frozen or it would have been very muddy. I enjoyed the short hike in the crisp morning air. Once at ground zero I looked in the correct spot but didn't see it. I checked several other spots and eventually came back and found it. I discovered the three travel bugs and added a fourth one. I took the plush Signal the Frog and left a couple of plastic dinosaurs and my pocket change. This is a wonderful spot for a cache. Thanks for placing it.
