Location
On the rim of the Boise River canyon, just downstream from Lucky Peak dam.
Participants
- Eldin
- Pojana
Expedition
Paved roads got us to within a mile or so of the hash. Then it was primitive roads from there on. One of the roads we tried ended in a dead end about 1900ft from the hash, at which point we got out and walked for about 10 minutes before realizing the hash was on the far side of a difficult-to-pass wash. So we walked back to the car and found another drivable trail leading in the right direction. The trail was narrow, and in a few places had one side of the car a foot or more higher than the other where it cut around the end of the wash that stopped our first walk, but eventually it got us to within 1000ft of the hash. When we parked the car, we saw that the hash was almost directly between us and the end of a rainbow. We walked the rest of the way to the coordinates and took some pictures. Then I walked the last 50ft or so to where the slope started to get steep towards the canyon rim, and took more pictures. The view was impressive. I've driven through the canyon many times, but never seen it from up on the rim before. All in all, a very enjoyable hash, even if it did rain on us a bit.
