Set to further your enjoyment in exploration of the Gunnison Gorge. Accessible in family auto but fairly rough 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 informational kiosk for Cottonwood Grove Campground & staging point for the nearby Smith Mountain Recreation area

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 5086 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; shorter geocachers should be able to reach this one, small kids may need a boost.

No campers today! Took the 4-wheeler out for some R and R and made quick work of the little tin for the [FTF]. Thanks for all of these caches in a new area.

Campers parked about 15 feet away from cache GZ. Came out to check on me as I was parking vehicle. I'll have to return.
