My first time to Hemingway Butte OHV park. This pick was from a ways up the trail/road from the parking area. My skills are improving!
On my way down to Mountain Home from Anderson Ranch Dam, I took a dirt road detour to the Rattlesnake Station Marker specifically to come look at this hole in the ground, Eureka Cave (43.12273, -115.57425). I’m not a climber, so without a ladder, I wasn’t exploring past the rim. I local showed up on a side-by-side, and was telling me this cave went on for a long ways. I’ll take his word for it. The way I took was pretty rutted off the main dirt road and I had to dodge lots of those unpredictable baby cows.
Deer Flat National Wildlife Refuge (Lake Lowell Loop). GPS coordinates 43.56129 N, 116.66156 W.
One of my favorite local rides that begins just off Hwy 45 and Lake Shore Drive in Nampa, ID. This loop takes you around the backside of Lake Lowell and around the Deer Flat National Refuge and eventually on to the marina area and hiking trails. Riders enjoy minimal traffic and very few stop signs while riding around the lake. I like to stop at the marina area and take in the sights while enjoying a quick snack or beverage. While traveling around the lake, I have observed wildlife that includes: deer, coyotes, eagles, hawks, and wild turkeys to boot!
