This cache is located at the beginning of the Crystal Creek National Forrest Area. While earning your smiley please enjoy all that the area has to offer. This area offers great opportunites for camping, hiking, and fishing. There are also numerous trails that provide access to the Black Mesa area for ATV's, dirt bikes and Jeeps. If you plan on exploring the trails and are unfamiliar with the area, a trail map is recommended. Don't forget your camera as the wild flowers and wild life are abundant in the warmer months proving great photo opportunies. There is also great snowmobiling, snowshoeing and cross country skiing in the winter months.
This is one of the most picturesque areas I have ever been to. I have been camping, hunting and fishing this area my entire life and I hope you enjoy it as much as my family and I do.
The cache is accessible year round and can be reached in a 2-wheel drive car. During the winter, the road is plowed to the cache site but is always snow packed. Access past the cache site is limited to snowmobiles during the winter. 4-wheel drive is recommended during the winter and 4-wheeld drive and/or high clearance is recommended if you plan on exploring the area past the cache site on the dirt road during the summer.
Cache is a small tin that contains a log only. BYOP. After you've earned the smiley and venture back towards Highway 92, consider traveling south along the North Rim of the Black Canyon. This drive offers breathtaking views of the canyon and the surrounding areas. The changing colors are vibrant during the fall.
Happy Hunting!
