The Sawtooths owe their unique shape to ice. Two million years ago, massive glaciers covered much of what is now Idaho, scouring the ground and sculpting ancient volcanic rock. As the ice melted, it revealed the sheer peaks, broad valleys and high lakes that characterize the area.
About the time the ice melted, humans first appeared on the scene. Prehistoric hunters came to hunt deer, elk, antelope, mammoth, bison and bighorn sheep, to gather plants, and to harvest spawning salmon. The early hunters sought cover in crude rock shelters. The Redfish Rock Shelter, near Redfish Lake, shows evidence of use 9,500 years ago.
Clue Difficulty: Easy 10 minutes walk
Hand Carved Stamp: Yes (replaced)
Ink Pad: No, please bring your own
Clues: Head South from Stanley, Idaho, on HW75 for several miles. Turn west at the Redfish Lake turnoff. Turn in to the parking area by the picturesque bridge and learn about the salmon migration. Then walk across the bridge towards the Redfish Shelter. Enjoy the historical signs at the shelter and the petro glyphs. To find the letterbox, continue past the shelter about 100 feet towards the north. The box is hidden behind a large rock outcropping to your left. It is on the side opposite the trail beneath some rocks and sticks. Please enjoy and re-hide it well!
