Boulder Graveyard
Nearest town: Kuna, Idaho
Ada County
Placed by A-Bear on 19 April 2003

Directions: From I84 take exit 44 south on route 69
for about 8 miles. Turn left onto Swan Falls Road and
follow that road for about 21 miles. At the bottom
of the hill turn right. When you come to a gravel
road the letterbox will be about 2 miles ahead. So
you can either park at the dam and walk to it or drive
on the road that is not maintained, but still OK. You
will drive between the Snake River on your left and
the rock slides on your right. When you come to the
sign stating there are only 2.5 miles remaining of
road, continue a few yards ahead to the one parking
spot on the right next to two large rocks.

Level of Difficulty: Easy drive-by or 4 mile flat
hike if you choose to walk to it.

Clues:
As you travel north along the gravel road from the
dam, you eventually spy the boulder graveyard up
ahead. A few yards past the 2.5 miles of road
remaining there are two large rocks on the right next
to a place to park. At the bottom of the rock on the
lift is a U.S. Coast & Geodetic Survey Bench Marker.
Walk between the two rocks to the cracked boulder
resting at 40 degrees. Traverse around its right side
to spot the cracked larger boulder to its rear.
Theres a deep crevice below its northwestern end
shielding the Boulder Graveyard letterbox with a flat
rock.

On your way there or back find the Swan Falls Dam
Letterbox.

Please read the waiver of responsibility and watch out
for snakes (not that I saw any, but all the rocks seem
like a snakes haven).
