NOT snow-friendly box for obvious reasons.
This box is up at Peter Sinks in Cache National Forest, Utah and for those of you who don’t know, Peter Sinks is one of the coldest places in the contiguous United States. It has broken several records such as back in May 2010 when it broke the record for the lowest May temperature (excluding Alaska) at minus 15 degrees.

You are definitely going to want to take a four-wheel drive vehicle for this box. I have seen people get their cars as far as the campground mentioned further down but I wouldn't recommend it. If you do take a car without four-wheel drive you definitely won’t want to go exploring further up through the campground.
If you are attempting this box from the Bear Lake area, head through the canyon toward Logan. Pass Sunrise campground of Cache National Forest. Then, just past the Limber Pine Trail-head area you’ll see a dirt road on the left.
If you headed up the canyon from Logan, UT you’ll have a bit of a drive, this box is up past Tony Grove Lake and Beaver Mountain Ski Resort. You’ll head up the canyon as though you were going to Bear Lake. You’ll almost make it all the way to the Bear Lake Scenic Overlook and Rest Area, but not quite. If you drive past Limber Pine Trail-head area you've gone too far and need to turn back.
Just past mile marker 492, before the Rich County sign, on the right should be a dirt road. Turn onto the dirt road and go 2.7 miles. Drive carefully because the road is full of potholes, some of which are deeper than they appear. Once you've gone 2.7 miles on the dirt road, on your right you should see an unofficial camp area and a narrow dirt road winding through the trees. There should also be a brown sign that says: “Peter Sinks” and “Turkey Trail.” Behind this sign are 2 boulders next to a pine tree. Under where these two boulders touch, on the right side, hidden in a pile of smaller rocks is what you seek. Remember to re-seal all bags and the box tightly.
If you have time for some exploring, follow the arrows on the sign and continue on the road. There’s a nice rocky bowl-like clearing and just past that is a hill that looks down on a quaint valley. Drive carefully and don’t take on more than you think you can handle.
Enjoy!
