Geocache Description:

Horseshoe Lake Lookout Cache was hidden to fulfill the requirements of GC15059 Idaho Forest Fire Lookout Challenge

Idaho Geocachers

Horseshoe Lake Lookout has had a tumultuous history. The lookout was established in 1921. In 1961, the original log platform was burned in a forest fire. Remnants of the platform are still visible in the rocks high above the cache location. In 1962, a 50 foot replacement tower was moved from the Indian Grave Lookout site. This tower stood until it too was burnt in a 1985 forest fire. Today all that remains are the concrete foundations of the tower and arranged rocks spelling out the name of the lookout.


The lookout is located just off the historic Lolo Motorway. See the additional waypoints for directions.

A special thanks to dshifter who has graciously agreed to help us maintain these caches!!!
