Set to further your enjoyment in exploration of the Gunnison Gorge. Accessible in family auto but fairly rought road and recommend high clearance vehicle such as SUV or better. 2 star terrain is mostly due to the road, once there it is easy access.

Set at staging point for West River Trailhead, Confluence of the Gunnison and North Fork of the Gunnison are just yards away.

The Gunnison Gorge National Conservation Area and Wilderness welcomes you at this spot with a staging area complete with parking, toilets, and an information kiosk - we've added a geocache as a bonus!

At an elevation of 5106 ft., this is one of the gateways into a spectacular 63,000 acre multi-use area known for its outstanding and diverse natural, scenic, geologic, scientific and wilderness resources. Within these acres exceptional recreational opportunities offered include flat and white water boating, Gold Medal trout fishing, hiking, camping, horseback riding, mountain biking, and off-road vehicle riding adventures . . . . as well as a growing number of opportunities for geocaching set by the geocaching community.

Replace cache where you found it; short geocachers may need a boost from structure beside it.

Lots of fishers and wheelers out today. I've been waiting for some nicer weather to start caching again and apparently the rest of western Colorado has been waiting to get out as well. Very busy. Definitely needed a boost to get this one, nicely done with the new cache style. Thanks for the [FTF].
