Bob, Yea, I saw that one pop up on my geocache radar screen just a few minutes ago! Actually, from what I can tell, it isnt really in the Sedona area at all. It appears to be in the Secret Mountain Wilderness area. It appears that you have to come south off of I-40 to get to it. West of Flagstaff. There are a number of forest routes and such that come WAY south from I-40 to get back to that area. Or perhaps it is possible to come south from Rogers Lake area. Basically, it is 'way back in there'. It is a long drive around from Sedona to get to that area. I took a good look at my newly updated Mapsource software and it shows a trail coming in from the west... above the rim. There is a canyon to the south and east of the cache, which it might be possible to hike up it to the cache. The next canyon over from that one is Boynton Canyon. I hiked Boynton Canyon all the way to the end of the trail and there is no way to climb up and out of that canyon. Well, there might be. It would be a fun climb though. Many of the finger canyons along that stretch are much the same... steep walls at the top end of the canyons. There is the secret canyon area and I beleive there is a trail that goes back there, but I havent been on it yet. It looks like a REALLY long hike though if that trail went up the canyon to the north of the cache and then back to it. But I dont think it does. I will have to consult some trail maps for the area to find out if there is a way to get to it from Sedona side... if so, I would be up for the challenge. If I have to approach from south of I-40... it doesnt look like a cache I would be doing anytime soon. Anyways, I only live a few minutes from Boynton Canyon area... I will take a drive down there and take a look at the forest trail maps and see if any trails go up there. I beleive there are trailheads to the Secret Mnt Wilderness area near here... I just dont think that is how you get to that cache location. It would be one hell of a hike if so. This one might sit for another year.... or more!!!
