This was our keyword cipher clue. Using the branch’s keyword, you could decode the message. In a keyword cipher, the keyword is placed at the start of the alphabet to create a substitution alphabet—rearranging letters based on the keyword. If you’d followed the other clues by this point, you would be in Yellow Fork Canyon on Butter Knife Trail.
- “Set your sights East for a watchful eye” — On the east side of the trail is a unique rock formation with a hole in the middle that looks like an eye.
- “Look into its soul to find a formation” — Put your eye to the hole; you’ll see a perfect pile of rocks in view.
- “Go up to its cave” — Within that rock pile is a small cave-like hole. Reach in and the wallet is there.

The salt shaker was meant to reinforce Salt Lake County. The OT:30 was another hint that would help when you were closer to the wallet saying it was 30 paces off trail.
