makes for a significant hike. If approching from the top be advised
that the cliff is steep but managable and there are rattle snakes
in the area. This is an excellet area to practice cache in trash

muggle activity in the area. Enjoy the veiw.
Did you know? Hillside symbols have a surprisingly
respectable history dating back some eighty years. To a remarkable
extent the letters can be traced to a single decade, 1905-1915.
They have almost always been built and maintained by college or
high-school student groups. The earliest letter-building projects
were devices for defusing increasingly violent inter-class
rivalries, which college administrators and faculty found difficult
to control. It apparently worked. Making a letter was often a gala
community event, an organized "men's workday" declared a formal
school holiday, with picnic lunch and supper provided by campus
women. Once built, letters quickly became symbols of community and
school, instant traditions shouting "Here we are!" Illuminating
them before major sports contests or for homecomings began early.
At such times, when tensions between rivals ran high, the letters
were prime targets for raids so they were zealously defended
through the night with bonfires and beer. The Pocatello "P" is
whitewashed by Students from Pocatello Hight School.
