Followed the wash, incredible view, but the cache is missing. Searched in the most obvious places to the most rediculous. Searched places that would require climbing gear. Recommend the owner verifies placement.

Day 9 of our 14 day trip, left condo this morning and headed to the Grand Teton, but changed course in the middle of the drive, decided to hit Dinosaur National Park!! Then on up to meet a guy that Vic was on the ice with for 45 years ago!! Spending the night with him and will resume our travels tomorrow! Thanks to all the people who have placed and maintained all the caches along the way!! TFTC

This is a great cache location. We love a little technical searching in the wilderness! Cache is in need of some serious TLC... Is falling apart and needs a new container.

Really cool rock formations. It was a good hike, but not impossible. TFTC!

Wow, this is one neat cache--I loved the scramble to reach the container (which has several "holes" and needs to be replaced again by the next cacher who goes up there). That's quite a location. Looks easy from the highway and along the approach, and suddenly...well, as I said, "wow". Thanks for this one. I signed the log as my final cache find of the day.

Wow! Fun but challenging cache. The hike was great and the views were very pretty. A little scary at the end, especially with a little bit of snow still up there. TNLN SL TFTC

Now I know where the name came from. This was a little tougher to get to than I expected when I parked, but at least I made the find quickly once I got there. Thanks for keeping this one going. The container has holes in most corners and the plastic bag is pretty useless, but as of now the contents are in good shape.
