This might not be a place you would necessarily find any fossils; however, this fossilized geocache might be in something that could become petrified and there is an entire forest dedicated to it in Arizona.

There is a trail map online (http://www.gmfcotrails.org/Trails-Map.html).

There is room for smaller trackables and small sized coins in the container.

Please recover the cache the same way or better than you found it so the next cacher can enjoy the find too.

Watch for wildlife and respect their domain.

Caching can be dangerous. There are inherent risks involved which you take upon yourself when you are caching.

Please be careful and remember rule #13 - HAVE FUN!

Congrats to hartsdale on FTF!

Found it. It’s snowier here on the trail back this way but not icy and you can still follow the footprints. Tftc

Found while hiking with Java Chip on a gorgeous day. She used her geosenses while I used the GPS. Easy find for me while she was looking for woodpeckers on the other side of the trail. Thanks for putting out this fun cache!

First time on this trail for me, so thought I'd do the loop and find lots of caches. Thanks for the many interesting hides!

Getting logs caught up, now that retreat to a more southerly (& wayy hotter) home provides more useable internet!
Came along; went on by; later thought I'd pull out my navigation brain & look at it .....

DO'Hhhh !!!!
Went on back BlackEye
