For mountain bikers, Nachos is widely regarded as one of Ute Valley Park's more challenging tests of downhill skill.  If you can clean Nachos, you're a solid mountain biker.  It also happens to be in a beautiful part of the park.  Even though it's close to a mountain biking playground, hikers need not worry when looking for this cache.  It's located far enough off the trail that the bikers probably won't even notice you, and it can be approached without anyone getting in anyone's way.

Enjoy the rock formations and the excellent views as you find this cache!

Congrats to ernie66 for First to Find!

It was logged by the time I got there, in hindsight I should have not stopped for any red lights.

Thanks for the nice cache container to hunt for and nice geotrail to follow!

I figured I’d wait for the FTF frenzy to die down before heading out to search. I took my time with my morning coffee, got some work done, then went to another cache before hiking into this one. When I arrived, to my surprise, I found a blank log! FTF this morning at 10:00. Thanks for the FTF prize!
