Cross the bridge, look up at the hillside and look at the gray ghosts. The mountain pine beetle took its toll.  But take a look and look at the rebirth of the forest.  Mother nature has her ways.  Great place to camp.

I either drove past a safe pullout or there wasn’t one near GZ. We stopped at the next available turn out, and took advantage of the opportunity to look at the damage done by the pine beetles and the subsequent reforestation. We saw similar forest recovery while in Yellowstone national park where the forest was recovering from the fires of 1988. We also watched fish darting in the little stream. I think we saw what may have been the start of the beaver dam, but not really sure if the obstruction was animal-made or beaver-made.

Coordinates are off. Cache owner needs to correct the coordinates. Follow coordinates by fresnodancingfool. Hint: guardrail.

I use the above coordinates, originally supplied in the FTF log, and had no trouble finding the container; the CO needs to change the highly inaccurate posted coordinates ASAP. Good job except for the coordinates; TFTC!

It is wheelchair accessible so do not walk to the coordinates given as that is a hard hike.

We had to use other logs to find it. Coords are not even close.

TFTC. surprised at the few number of signatures on this log. So sad about the beetle kill trees in our Rocky Mtns high. We saw so many hunters set up camp & was glad to be out in the middle of the day so didn't hear gun shots.

Found it. Cords are well off. This is a park and grab, just look in the obvious spot.
