High clearance is needed to get to the trail head.  Stay on the upper trail when you reach the fork at N39 08.449 W108 50.243 The cache is not reachable from the canyon floor. This cache and Rattler offer the rare opportunity to easily walk the top of an arch. The cache is a small lock-n-lock that will hold a few small trade items. Bring your own pen.
Congratulations to Rojo on FTF

Beautiful spot! We ran/hiked over from the Pollock Canyon trailhead. We were scratching our heads when we got to GZ. Tried following a little social trail that brought us into one of the little caves next to the arch, but there wasn't an easy way on top from here. I ended up scrambling up the side a little to the west. It was only a little sketchy for me, but I later found out there's a much easier way to get up here from the east.

I didn't find the cache. I looked for only a few minutes since I didn't want to keep my hiking partner waiting down below. Great view from up here though, I'm not upset I scrambled up :)

Wow. Beautiful!! The cache hadn't been found for 7 months and it's old hidey place was no longer appropriate, so I moved it about 7 feet away towards the cliff out of plain sight. Tftf

Found today with my friend on a hike from Pollock Bench. We climbed up through First Arch (a little sketchy, not recommended unless you are a comfortable climber) to get up there for the cache and went back on the spur trail near the 4x4 road. I am so close to 1000 caches, this was #992. I wish this could have been 1000. We had a very adventurous and memorable day. Thanks!
