Cache is located on the south side of interstate 70 at Rabbit Valley exit 2. You can get off the Interstate going East or West.
From the exit no 2, go south about 1.15 miles to a parking lot (N 39-10.524, W 109-01.187). From there follow the jeep road (walk or drive 4 wheel drive vehicle) about 1.9 miles to the south side of Castle Rock. This is in the McDonald Creek Cultural Resource Area. There are many biking and 4wd trails in this area for your enjoyment. See the map near the exit. Enjoy the massive and awesome rock formations along the route. Cashe is in a three pound decoated coffee tin. It contains log book, pen and pencil, and other goodies. Picnic tables and comfort station are near the "ROCK", so bring your lunch and enjoy the outing.

Found just as described in hint, although a bit further south than expected. Still in good shape, thanks.

What a beautiful place for a campground. Took Geocoin, left a cactus.

Had a good time finding this one. Kiddo led us right to it. Took tiny yellow cannon and left a trackable. Been a while since we could go geocaching and decided this would be a good spot to drop it off. Hopefully the next cacher can take it further.

Our first cache of the year. The road out to this requires high clearance, at least at this time of year. The McDonald Creek trail was nice, except where we got lost….ah well, found our way back eventually! TFTC!

Btw: something at the trail head causes one's GPS to bounce all over the place, but once you step away, it's ok.

Cool spot, would not have found except for the sharp eyes of a younger man

On our way back to the truck after a late season ATV ride, we stopped for one more cache. Cool location!
