Hungry Horse Dam
You don't have to go all the way to the dam to find the cache.
The cache is located on the West Side Road (NF-895) about 800 feet from Highway 2 in a small turnout for the visitors information sign.
Turn off Highway 2 at Reference Point R0
Small cache - Log only - Bring your own writing stick - Might need tweezers
May not be available in winter depending on depth of plowed snow.
Hungry Horse Dam is located on the South Fork of the Flathead River near Hungry Horse Montana.
It is 27 miles from Kalispell and 14 miles from West Glacier Montana.
From Highway 2 in Hungry Horse go south 4.5 miles on the West Side Road (NF-895) to the visitor center at the north end of the dam.
The dam is 564 feet (172 meters) high.
The dam was constructed using 3 million cubic yards of concrete.
On October 1, 1953, President Harry S. Truman threw a switch to start power generation.
The electric power generating capacity is 428 million watts.
The dam contributes to hydroelectric power generation not only at Hungry Horse Dam, but also by storing and releasing water for use by downriver hydroelectric dams on the Flathead, Clark Fork, Pend Oreille, and Columbia rivers.
