Geocache Description:

This cache is to celebrate the wonderful Bitterroot Valley. As you navigate your way to this cache you will be presented with some striking views of the Bitterroot Valley. You can continue the drive up to the Glen Lake Trailhead for even more wonderful views of this spectacular place.

Items in the cache include things you may use when visiting the Bitterroot Valley. Other items are just fun things for the kids.


The cache is fairly easy to reach and can be reached by just about any vehicle if the weather is good and the road is dry. Use caution on the dirt roads.

How to get there.
About 2 miles north of Victor, MT, turn west from Hwy 93 at Bell Crossing. The intersection has a blinking yellow light, and is marked with a Forest Service sign for the Big Creek Trailhead.

In less than a half mile the road turns 90 degrees to the right (north), quickly followed by another 90 degree turn, this time to the left (west). In about a mile, you will reach FR 738 which turns slightly to the right in a northwesterly direction.

As you proceed uphill, you will pass through the area of the old Curlew Mine before reaching an intersection. The right (northwest) fork goes downhill to the Big Creek Trailhead.

You want to take the left (south) fork onto FR 1321.
