Utah GeoTour-Rich-Above Garden City Letterbox Hybrid

This cache is meant to bring people to the Highlights of each County in Utah. 

This cache is accessable by vehicles but I would only recommend high clearance vehicles. At the top, you will have an amazing view of Garden City and Bear Lake!

Rich County was believed to have first been visited by European descendent explorers in 1811, when trapper Joseph Miller discovered the Bear River. In 1827, the first annual rendezvous of trappers occurred on the south shore of Bear Lake, a tradition which is still marked today. The site is also preserved as part of Bear Lake State Park. The first settlement within the county's present boundary was Round Valley in 1863; located southwest of Laketown (settled 1864), it is now a ghost town. Randolph was settled in 1870. Originally created as Richland County in 1864, the name was shortened to Rich in 1868 by the 17th Utah Territorial Legislature.

Garden City is a town in Rich County, Utah, United States. The population was 562 at the 2010 census. Garden City sits on the shores of Bear Lake and is a popular summer resort destination town. 

Bear Lake Utah is famous for its delicious raspberries. It is said that the warm days and cool nights make for the ideal raspberry-growing climate. The tasty fruit is well known for making shakes around Bear Lake. You can buy a Bear Lake Raspberry shake nearly anywhere around the lake that sells food.
