Geocache Description:

This geocache brings you to a beautiful view from above the lower Flathead River just above the Buffalo Rapids area.  There are spectacular views of both the Mission Mountains to the East as well as the Flathead River, Irvine Flats and Valley VIew area's to the South, North & West.  Don't forget your camera, nor your Tribal Recreation Permit that is needed to be on this land.  Permits can be bought at Walmart in Polson back at the gun counter.


This little Kiwi has been touring the area since striking out on his own back in July.  He visited many of the other new caches that his siblings have decided to call home since they left the Kiwi's Nest GC3J9G4.  This little guy ended up taking Irvine Flats road South off of Hwy 93 to his new home location.  

This road runs below the KOA RV park that sits up on the hillside overlooking Polson so from here just follow your GPS.  Once you get to GZ...please keep an eye on pets and/or children due to the fact that you will be at the top of a very high hillside/cliff above the Flathead RIver.  You can grab two other geocaches on your way to this one, (Picture Time GC3KZ0E), (Rocky Lookout GC46TVK), one below it (I C Buffalo North GC4ATDH) as well as many others on out farther toward Buffalo Bridge so make an afternoon out of it!  Bring your own pen/pencil.  Cache is small no room for swag or pencil.
As with any other geocache on the Flathead Indian Reservation, please be sure to have your recreation permit with you while on the hunt unless you are a tribal member, whereas it is not needed.
