Geocaching Guidelines

Idaho Power offers geocaching opportunities on land the company owns. This activity is a way to provide participants with interesting facts and educational opportunities related to hydropower, history, geology and the natural environment.

In order to meet Groundspeak Inc. requirements and maintain community standards related to cache siting, Idaho Power has established the following guidelines for private geocaching on Idaho Power-owned lands:

  • No private geocache may be sited on Idaho Power-owned property without prior authorization from Idaho Power. Contact geocaching@idahopower.com prior to installing or placing a geocache. Geocaching.com will not authorize new geocaches on private land without proof of landowner consent.
  • The Fundamental Placement Guidelines provided by Groundspeak Inc. and all local laws and documented land management policies also ggovern the physical location of any geocache placed with permission on Idaho Power Land. Before placing or submitting geocaches, please read the guidelines and Regional Geocaching Policies Wiki at www.geocaching.com.
