Perched in the scenic Bannock Mountain Range just outside of Lava Hot Springs, this piece could make a fine off the grid base camp for outdoor recreation with Caribou National Forest and BLM access close by. The steep slope of this mountain property offers privacy and expansive panoramic views of the countryside with some gradual sloping ground just off the dirt road for your camp site. This is part of Hunting Unit 71, which is known for mature mule deer and upland game—scout for deer, elk, and moose right in your own backyard. Bring your RVs, ATVs, motorcycles, mountain bikes, and snowmobiles, and explore the miles of dirt roads and trails in the surrounding BLM and National Forest. Enjoy camping, backpacking, horseback riding, hiking, and big game hunting. Enjoy fishing or floating in the nearby Portneuf River or a relaxing soak in the Lava Hot Springs mineral pools. Pebble Creek Campground and Ski Area is close by and offers year-round recreation from camping, backpacking and hiking to downhill skiing, cross country skiing and snowmobiling. Conveniently located under three miles off US 30 in McCammon and thirty minutes from Pocatello and the amenities of the city. In addition to offering world-class outdoor recreation, Pocatello and its sister city, Chubbuck, offer a rich culture in visual arts, performing arts, and entertainment, and a wide variety of restaurants and shops to choose from. This university town is also home to outdoor summer concerts and year-round showcases of the arts in indoor and outdoor facilities. (Call Dave and Ann for more details.)
