A cache in the rocks above Firehole Canyon Road on the way to the Flaming Gorge.

The cache is a plastic container with a yellow lid. Parking is possible at the junction of the paved road and the dirt county road #75. Go up from there. You should be able to see your vehicle from the cache site.

The paved road will further take you into Firehole Canyon that is part of the Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area. There is a boat ramp and campground at the of the paved road. The road continues from there as a good dirt road further taking one to different fishing holes along the Gorge.

Could only get bikes to within .26mi., we found a not so steep incline to cache. Wife was pretty tired from walk, I was 30yds away looking for cache, I heard her cry out. She had fallen, scared the heck out me, I went running back to were she was trying to get up. She was bleeding from were she had hit her cheek and chin, she was saying she was alright. I told her thats it, I quit, no more. She told me,Bull crap, this is how she gets her enjoyment. She calmed me down, and we started looking again, I commented on the hint, low and behold she points to the hint, and we find cache. So if you she my sweet companion, ask how her face feels, she told me maybe she just needs to wear her helmet all the time when caching. Thanks for this great sport.
