Geocache Description:

Balanced Rock is a 40-ton, 48-foot rock delicately balanced on a three-foot base above Salmon Falls Creek Canyon. It is a natural wonder that is constantly changing with the ever-active forces of erosion.

Idaho Geocachers

After finding the cache, spend some time exploring the rock area and then go to the picnic area about ¼ mile from Balanced Rock, have some lunch and then explore some more. It really is a beautiful area out in the middle of nowhere.

The location of the cache is within .2 miles of the turnout in front of Balanced Rock. In the spring and early summer months watch out for snakes! The cache is hidden under some rocks to conceal it from somebody stumbling upon it. Make sure to cover it up when done. The cache is in a black ammo can with the word geocache stenciled on each side in green. Be safe and have fun!
