The Boy Scout troop 916 in our area decided to work on the Geocaching merit badge so I put together some of my favorite caches up Payson canyon and found that there was a night cache that I had not done before.
This is a child friendly reflector hike. Only a little hilliness and small limbs, etc. to step over on animal paths. The cache is about 240' from the posted coordinates but you will walk about 800' to follow the reflectors. Then it is a shorter walk back. The red reflectors (17) are close to each other and easy to see except for two that are across open areas. This can be done in the day but will be more fun to do just after dark. Dress the kids warm and go have some fun. One note, when the leaves come on in the spring and summer it might be hard to see in the day and might need the night reflection to be found. This can be reached year round normally. Most of the time you can park about 20' from the start, just make sure you are off the road completely. There is room for just one car.
We had two vehicles so we parked just down the road and walked up to the start it was still a bit light but we were able to navigate just fine. This was a great experience and I would highly recommend this to anyone.
