Geocache Description:

On Hilty Rd. (gravel) off of SR 272. Easy access with a spot to pull off. Enjoy the beautiful view of Steptoe Butte and the surrounding Palouse from this high point. Bring Lego mini-figures or other Lego pieces to trade.

This cache is near a popular stop for the numerous photography tours that come to the gorgeous Palouse in the Spring and Summer so bring your camera. There is a great view of Steptoe Butte with Buck Canyon in the foreground and miles of visibility of the surrounding rolling Palouse farmland. Although the cache is located on the side of a gravel road, it is on a stretch of Hilty Rd. that is a year-round maintained Whitman County road.

To make this fun for kids (yours and ours) this is a Lego themed cache. If you have some, please bring Lego mini-figures or other Lego stuff to trade. Otherwise, stop by anyway, take a scenic photo, sign the log, and trade another fun item. This will also be the "spawning grounds" of our flyfishing related GEO-Cache-N-Release travel bugs.

Hilty is a loop road with the other end coming out on 272 about 4 miles further to the East. Take the Hilty entrance off of SR 272 at coordinates [N 46° 53.320 W 117° 20.775]. If you go on to Hilty at the other end of the loop further East you will have to drive a few miles of unmaintained dirt road that is dusty, rutted, very slick and muddy when wet, and not plowed in the winter.

Cache is a ammo can.
