clues page. Thanks so much.

Swan Falls Dam
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 .5 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.

Level of Difficulty: Easy if park near the telephone
pole or 1 mile flat hike if you choose to walk to it.

Clues:
As you travel north along the gravel road from the
dam, you eventually notice that the telephone
poles/power lines cross the road to the left. Start
at that pole and notice the view of the Swan Falls
Dam. Meander your way for 36 paces/72 steps at 150
degrees to find the Swan sleeping between the two
closest rocks.

Continue on your way to find the Boulder Graveyard
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).
