Cache is located in the Palo Duro Canyon State Park .3 miles up the canyon side from the Cactus Camp Area. The terrain is rough with cactus, mesquite, large rocks, no trail, shear canyon walls, rattlesnakes, and lots of undergrowth.
Only the physical fit get to see this cache. Always go in a group and take a flashlight. Make sure you have a minimum of 3 hours of sunlight before attempting to hunt the cache. Make sure you have 30 minutes of sunlight left to return to the road. I haven’t found a good way to get to the cave but staying East of the small canyon seems to be a better way. Park at the Cottonwood Day use area and walk to the Cactus Camp Area. The small canyon just before reaching the Cactus Camp Area is where you want to start up canyon side. You will be able look over the canyon from the cache. Be very careful climbing on the rocks to get into the cave. Once in the cave please be very environmentally conscious and keep it as pristine as you found it.
Cache originally contained a log book, pen, pencil, magnetic states puzzle, bear, cd opener, skateboard key ring, film case, pin flag, wooden Viking slide. Please sign the log book. I love to see pictures attached to your logs.
