Geocache Description:

This cache is 0.2mi from Wind Lake, a quiet little lake just inside the boundary of the Salmon-Huckleberry Wilderness (which is why the cache is not hidden at the lake itself). There are no mountain views from the lake, but there are plenty of views on the hike up.


To get to this cache you'll need to hike through the Skibowl area. (Park at Skibowl West, not Skibowl East.) The route I took started to the left of the Alpine Slide on Lake Road. Follow that to Low Road, which becomes High Road then Skyline Road. From Skyline Road there is a trail that heads off into the woods to Wind Lake. In the summer all of these roads and trails are well-marked. This cache wil not be accessible in winter because it will be buried under several feet of snow. It's a good idea to consult a Skibowl trail map before starting out since the roads and trails may not show up on your GPS (they didn't show up on mine). It is not a good idea to take shortcuts on mountain bike trails since you risk getting mowed down if you do that.

With winter snow plus fall and spring rain, this site sees a lot of precipitation so PLEASE make sure the lid is snapped all the way on.
