Geocache Description:

Park'n'Grab located by the McGuire Mountain trailhead.  If you have the time, the hike up to the peak of McGuire is gorgeous.

McGuire Mountain (6,960 feet) has a great view of the Pinckham valley.  The cache is located near the trailhead and parking.   Fantastic panoramic view from the peak.  Wildlife in the area include Bald Eagles, Osprey, Moose, Elk, Dear (Whitetail and Mule), Wolves, Mountain Lions, Black & Grizzly Bears, and a host of other smaller forest creatures. The area is officially designated a grizzly habitat.


The cache is the first of 4 located in the Pinkham area as a group effort between a group of Illinois adventurers and a local outdoor ministry. The four hides are all ammo boxes and each lead to a unique area in the Kootenai National Forest. Please remember, leave the area as it was found(removing any trash you may find along thte way). Additional information on the area can be found at the US forest service site http://www.fs.usda.gov/main/kootenai/home
