We came in from Strawberry. I guess there is a way in from Camp Verde but
the cache description doesn't give any details about how to approach the
area. We made it to the campground where it was a 1-mile hike to the cache.
Just ran out of daylight, patience, and sanity after that white knuckle
drive down into the canyon.

This cache is extremely under rated. It's rated as a 1.5 for both
difficulty and terrain. To anyone that has traveled the Old Apache Trail,
this is at least 5 times worse. This is a 40 round trip even though the GPS
says the cache in only 12 miles away. The road is extremely narrow and
rough. To top that off the cache is a mile hike once and if you make it
down to the river. You are also required to wade knee-deep through the
river to the other side. Do not attempt this cache with a low clearance
vehicle. 4WD is not required but I'd highly recommend it. Allow yourself
at least 3-4 hours to get this one. I doubt we'll be trying this one again
anytime soon.
