Is that your nose or a Lower Triassic sandstone formation?!?

This is a quick and easy cache & dash at the mouth of the canyon that highway 287 used to follow.

If you have access to the satellite maps, take a peek; just to the east past the "no tresspassing" sign, the canyon heads north and you can see the remains of the old bridge.

Log only, bring a pen.  Enjoy!

Congrats to poudrecacher, FTF!

Epilogue:
It is said-- by those that remember-- that in the late 1940's when the road still went by here, a family of 5 was killed in a head-on car crash at the precise location of this cache. Ghost story, or history? Visit at night and find out for sure...

Notre périple a débuté le 22 août dernier et nous amènera à visiter douze états Américains et deux provinces Canadiennes... Notre départ s'est fait à partir de Baie-Comeau, une ville sur la Côte Nord du Québec pour ensuite se poursuivre quelques jours à Québec où nous avons fait un peu de Géocaching.... Par la suite, nous avons fait un arrêt à St-Eustache et Ville de Laval, toujours au Québec, pour ensuite prendre l'avion et arriver à Portland, Oregon... Nous avons fait un arrêt le 28 août à Umatilla toujours en Oregon, le 29 août à Boise en Idaho, le 30 à Twin Falls et le 31 nous sommes à Salt Lake City pour deux jours... Le 2 septembre nous étions à Rock Springs, Wyoming et hier nous avons fait un arrêt à Laramie, Wyoming... Aujourd’hui nous continuons notre périple vers Colorado Spring où nous passerons deux jours...

Pendant tout le voyage nous avons ciblé quelques caches qui nous aideront à atteindre nos objectifs personnels et nous découvrirons certainement de nouveaux endroits que les Géocacheurs d'ici voudront nous faire découvrir... Nous préparons ce voyage depuis plusieurs mois et savons que nous ne pourrons pas tout voir par manque de temps... Il y a beaucoup de caches mais devons fermer les yeux ne pouvant toutes les trouver... Mais c'est avec plaisir que nous apposerons notre signature sur certaines d'entre-elles...

Merci pour la création de ces caches qui ajoutent des sourires à notre profil et qui nous font passer du bon temps peu importe l'humeur de Dame Nature... Notre log sera le même pour toute la journée et s'il y a une particularité nous l'ajouterons au début du texte... Des favoris seront ajoutés ici et là pour tout le travail accompli... MPLC

Our English is not perfect, we use Google Translate to help us ...

Our journey began last August 22 and will take us to visit twelve US states and two Canadian provinces ... Our departure was from Baie-Comeau, a city on the North Shore of Quebec and then continue for a few days in Quebec City where we did some Geocaching .... Then we stopped at St-Eustache and Ville de Laval, still in Quebec, and then flew to Portland, Oregon... We made stop in Umatilla on August 28 still in Oregon, August 29 in Boise, Idaho, August 30 in Twin Falls and August 31st we are in Salt Lake City for two days... The 2nd of september we were in Rock Springs. Wyoming and yesterday the road brought us to Laramie, Wyoming... Today our trip will take us to Colorado Springs where we will stay for two days

Throughout the trip we have targeted some caches that will help us achieve our personal goals and we will certainly discover new places that Geocachers here will want us to discover ... We have been planning this trip for several months and know we will not be able to not all see for lack of time ... There are many caches but we must close our eyes can not find them all ... But it is with pleasure that we will put our signature on some of them ...

Thank you for creating these caches that add smiles to our profile and make us have a good time regardless of the mood of Mother Nature ... Our log will be the same for the whole day and if there is a particularity we will add it at the beginning of the text ... Favorites will be added here and there for all the work done ... TFTC

Came from Green River Wy travelling to Estes Park Colorado. Finding caches along the way. Thanks for your cache and the fun we had in finding it.

Disappointed I didn’t find this one today. I’m pretty sure I was at the right spot but, if I was, it might have been taken. Hopefully my gps was just directing me to the wrong place even though I looked a few other spots and still no luck. Still, a beautiful day and a cool place to look at the many layers of rock! I even asked this little guy if he’d seen the cache anywhere recently but he opted to make me do my own dirty work and he scuttled off.
