Geocache Description:

Located on an old section of Highway 2 that has been preserved as a nature walk. The trail is well maintained and has information signs and benches along the way. One end of the trail starts near the Swinging Bridge on Highway 2 between Troy and Libby.

The cache is located on an old section of Highway 2 that was originally built by hand around 1912 and has now been preserved as a nature walk. The trail is well maintained and has many information signs and benches along the way and has an unlimited number of great views of the Kootenai River that is far below. One end of the old highway is near the Swinging Bridge on Highway 2 between Troy and Libby and the other end can be accessed from Highway 56 (Bull Lake Road) near Savage Lake. The walk to the cache will take around 20 to 30 minutes and has an elevation gain of about 300 feet if you start from the end near the Swinging Bridge on Highway 2.

Satellite signal is VERY, VERY weak. Take the encrypted hints with you just in case.
