Welcome

Hello Junior Explorer! Get 

ready to have some fun. In this 

activity book you will learn some cool 

things about southeast Idaho. The Pocatello 

Field Office manages about 610,000 acres 

of public land that consist of vast forests, 

high-elevation deserts, and numerous 

waterways. As you trek 

through this area of Idaho, 

you will come across 

historic landmarks, 

fascinating geological 

features, beautiful rivers, 

numerous campgrounds, 

and cool recreational trail 

systems. Earn your Junior 

Explorer certificate and award by exploring 

the places in this book and completing the 

activities. Maybe take some time to do this 

on a Saturday afternoon with your family or 

on a school fieldtrip with your class. Once 

you complete 10 of the 15 activities, read and 

sign the pledge in the back of this booklet, 

and mail it or bring it to the Pocatello Field 

Office to receive your Junior Explorer 

certificate and award.

If sending the pledge by mail, send to the 

following address:

Bureau of Land Management

4350 Cliffs Drive

Pocatello, Idaho 83204

Nature is a great place to learn as long as you 

know how to be kind and safe. During your 

adventure, remember the two following tips.

Be Kind to Nature: If you see a wild 

animal, stay quiet, and watch it from a 

distance. If you see or have any trash, pack 

it out in your backpack. If possible, pick up 

trash that you find and remove it from the 

area.

Explore the Outdoors Safely: Before 

setting off on your journey, bring your 

water bottle with you. Your adventure may 

be hot and dry at certain times of the year, 

and there is no water on site. Watch your 

footing. Rocky trails are common in this 

area. Also, look out for rattlesnakes.

What Are Public Lands?

Public lands are set aside for everyone to use! The Bureau of Land Management 

(BLM) manages more than 245 million acres of public land, mostly in the Western United 

States. The public lands are in many types of environments, such as forests, mountains, 

deserts, grasslands, tundra, lakes, and rivers.

Many different activities happen on public lands. Sometimes wild horses live on these lands. 

Sometimes oil and coal come from these lands. Sometimes historical landmarks are taken care 

of on these lands. But one of the most fun things is using the lands to enjoy outdoor activities. 

People can go camping, hiking, mountain biking, fishing, rock climbing, boating, and much 

more.

Since public lands are available for everyone to use, everyone must use the lands responsibly 

and be good stewards of the land. We all have to work together to take care of the land so that 

future Junior Explorers can enjoy the land too.

Area 1: Trail Blazers,

Chinese Peak-Blackrock Trail System

The Chinese Peak-Blackrock Trail System contains about 40 miles of designated routes and 

is available to ATV riders, mountain bikers, hikers, and others. The trails have also been used 

for an extreme horse race called the Buskin Challenge. The trail system winds its way down 

through mountain maple, sagebrush, and numerous types of grass. The fall colors can be 

phenomenal with vivid reds, yellows, and oranges around every corner. The trail system is 

closed to motorized and mechanized (bicycles) travel November 16 through April 14 to protect 

the winter habitat of numerous animals and to protect the trails from erosion. Hiking is 

allowed year round. 

Activity 1, Find Your Way

When hiking trails, it is important to know where you are and where you are going. A trail 

map can help you find your way. Help this Junior Explorer find his way from the Blackrock 

trailhead to Chinese Peak. While you are hiking, share the trail with others and pick up trash 

along the way.

Blackrock trailhead

Chinese Peak

Directions: From Pocatello, take Interstate 15 south to the Pontneuf Area exit. 

Drive east on S. 5th Ave. about a mile, and turn north onto Blackrock Rd. 

Follow this road into Black Canyon for about 1.5 miles to the first parking area 

with restrooms and picnic tables. Another parking area is located further up 

the road.
Junior Explorer • Discover Areas of the Pocatello Field Office 5 

Activity 2, Draw the View

From the top of Chinese Peak, you can see for miles. In fact, this viewpoint served 

as a fire lookout for many years before phones and other forms of technology 

became more efficient at reporting wildfires. The City of Pocatello is located just 

below, and looking further northwest, you can see desert buttes and remains of lava 

domes from extinct volcanoes. Now that you are at the top, draw what you see!

Activity 3, Bingo in Nature

Trail systems throughout the Pocatello area are full of wildlife and plants. As you hike the area, 

cross off the items on the bingo board as you see them on the trail. When you complete a row 

(horizontal, vertical, or diagonal), say “Bingo!”

Leave No Trace • Plan Ahead and Prepare

➠	Use a map so you don’t get lost.

➠	Bring a variety of clothes to protect you from cold, heat, or rain.

Area 2: Blast from the Past

Archaeologists look at artifacts and sites to investigate how people lived in the past. An 

artifact is any object that was made by or altered by humans. This includes things like 

pottery, arrowheads, and other stone tools. The context of the artifact is very important to the 

archaeologist. Context is the exact location, surrounding, and relationship to other artifacts in 

which the artifact was found. An artifact without its context is like having only one piece of a 

puzzle or an incomplete picture.

Some archaeological sites you might find while exploring the Pocatello Field Office include 

rock art, Native American campsites, historic mining sites, historic trails, and homesteads. 

Arrowheads and other historical artifacts are protected by law and should stay where they are 

found. Never remove or harm artifacts and archaeological sites. Instead, take a photo, draw a 

picture, or write down a memory.

Activity 1, Archaeology Exam

Based on what you’ve learned so far about archaeology, test your knowledge by reading 

each numbered item and then choosing true or false. You can review your answers and the 

explanations that go with each answer in the answer key in the back of this booklet.

1. Archaeologists dig up dinosaur fossils.

2. Archaeological sites are only found in places like 

Egypt where you can see the pyramids.

3. On the job, an archaeologist spends the whole 

day digging sites.

4. Archaeological sites should not be disturbed, and 

artifacts should be left where they are found.

Activity 2, Rock Art Interpretation

In the areas around and south of Pocatello through Marsh Valley, you might find rock art on 

the boulders and basalt cliffs. There are two kinds of rock art found here in Idaho—pictographs 

and petroglyphs. Pictographs are painted onto the rock, and petroglyphs are carved into the 

rock. Around Pocatello, you are more likely to find petroglyphs. If you find a petroglyph or 

pictograph, take a photo. Never climb on, touch, or mark or paint over rock art.

Look at the examples below, and write down what you think these petroglyphs say about the 

past.
Junior Explorer • Discover Areas of the Pocatello Field Office 9 

Activity 3, Word Sleuth

An archaeologist is kind of like a history detective, finding clues about the past from evidence 

collected in the present. Unscramble each of the words below. Use the letters that appear in the 

circles, and unscramble them to learn an important phrase.

Leave No Trace • Leave What You Find

➠	Leave an area the same way you found it

so the next person can enjoy it too.

➠	Treat living plants with respect, and never cut into a living tree.

➠	Leave natural objects and historical items as you found them.

Area 3: Tally Ho! Westward We Go!

Oregon-California Trail

The Oregon and California National Historic Trails pass through the Pocatello Field Office. 

Some of the national trails’ alternate routes also run through the field office, such as 

Hudspeth’s Cutoff and Lander Trail. These national historic trails pass through six states 

and served as a route for emigrants heading to the West beginning in the 1840s. Two major 

landmarks near the trails lie on BLM land: Big Hill and Sheep Rock.

Big Hill

Located between the IdahoWyoming border and 

Montpelier, Idaho, is a place 

that was known to emigrants 

as Big Hill. This part of 

the trail crosses the Sheep 

Creek Hills and was used by 

both emigrants headed to 

Oregon and those headed to 

California. The trip down Big 

Hill was very difficult since 

it was one of the steepest 

portions of the entire trail.

The hill can be viewed from 

an Oregon Trail-Bear Lake 

Scenic Byway pulloff located 

southeast of Montpelier on 

U.S. Highway 30.

Sheep Rock

Sheep Rock, also known as Soda Point, towers 1,200 feet above the waters of the Bear River. 

It was a landmark to emigrants on the Oregon-California Trail. The Bear River begins in 

the Uinta Mountains of eastern Utah, but at Sheep Rock the river makes a sudden U-turn 

and heads south to the Great Salt Lake. Emigrants often mentioned Sheep Rock in their 

journals. Sheep Rock marked the junction of the main route of the Oregon-California Trail and 

Hudspeth’s Cutoff, which was a shortcut less than a mile west of Sheep Rock.

Sheep Rock can be viewed from the Pioneer Historic Byway interpretive site on BLM land just 

off U.S. Highway 30, approximately 5 miles west of Soda Springs, Idaho.

Activity 1, California Dreamin’ Maze

Emigrants traveled to the West for numerous reasons. Some wanted to settle new land. Some 

wanted to explore and experience adventures. And some wanted to start a new life on the 

frontier. The emigrants could choose numerous paths on the Oregon-California Trail to reach 

their destinations. Some routes were more dangerous but reduced the time it took to get to 

their final destination. Help the settlers face the dangers of the trail and make it from Sheep 

Rock to California, which is where they want to start a new life panning for gold.

Activity 2, In a Settler’s Shoes

Put yourself in a settler’s shoes. Imagine you are a settler in 1840, and 

everything you own is with you as you’re traveling on the Oregon-California 

Trail. You are leaving from the Eastern United States with your family to 

start a new life on the frontier in the West. Settlers didn’t have computers or 

cell phones. The ability to send emails and text messages was unimaginable. 

There were specific stagecoaches that delivered letters, but even mail took a 

lot longer to reach its destination than it does today. Write a letter to one of 

your friends, and tell them what traveling on the trail is like. Tell them how 

you feel and the hardest parts about traveling on the trail.
Junior Explorer • Discover Areas of the Pocatello Field Office 13 

Activity 3, Be Aware of Your Surroundings

Emigrants traveling on the Oregon-California Trail experienced many dangers. Sometimes they 

faced robberies, severe weather, illness, and wild animals like mountain lions. Also, food was 

sometimes hard to come by, and the travelers had to be sure not to accidentally eat poisonous 

plants. The travelers had to pay attention and be aware of their surroundings all the time. The 

following words are some of the places and things you would see along the Oregon-California 

Trail. Find and circle the words.

Leave No Trace • Choose the Right Path

➠	Stay on the main trail. Don’t use shortcuts to get up or 

down switchbacks.

➠	If there is no trail, try to walk on the bare patches of soil, or 

step on rocks. Many plants will not survive if stepped on.

➠	Try to find campsites that are already used instead of 

creating new ones. Good campsites are found, not made.

Area 4: The Fabulous Formation Springs

Formation Springs is one of several mineral springs located northeast of the town of Soda 

Springs, Idaho, and at the base of the Aspen Mountains. The cold, crystal clear springs flow 

into the pools and creek system. The springs also deposit large amounts of minerals, which 

create unique rock formations called travertine.

Activity 1, Who Made That Track? 

Many birds and other wildlife are attracted to the habitat surrounding Formation Springs 

because it provides a great source of drinking water, plants, shelter, and food. When animals 

drink near the edge of water, they often leave tracks behind. By drawing a line, match the track 

on the left with the animal that made it on the right. 

Coyote

Deer

Elk

Fox

Hawk

Owl

Rabbit

Squirrel

Directions: From Soda Springs, take ID-34 E/E. Hooper 

Ave for approximately 2.8 miles. Turn right onto Trail 

Canyon Road, and continue for about 1.8 miles. Turn left 

near the signs to Formation Springs and park.
Junior Explorer • Discover Areas of the Pocatello Field Office 15 

Who’s Hiding? Chicks • Deer • Elk • Coyote • Hawk and fledglings • Lizard • Moose • Owl • Snake • Skunk

Activity 2, Can You See Me?

When the colors, patterns, or body shapes of an animal allow it to blend into the background, 

it is called camouflage. Camouflage makes animals harder to see. This helps them escape 

predators or hunt more efficiently. Circle the camouflaged animals you find in the environment 

below.

Leave No Trace • Respect Wildlife

➠	 Observe animals from a distance, and never approach, 

feed, or follow them.

➠	 Human food is unhealthy for all animals, and feeding 

them starts bad habits.

➠	 Never touch a wild animal, even if it looks hurt. The 

best way to help is to tell a ranger or responsible adult.

➠	Control pets at all times (or leave them at home) so 

they don’t bother wildlife.

Activity 3, On the Search for Treasure

What does Formation Springs look like to an eagle?

From this aerial view you can see its distinct features.

Follow the clues on this photograph to find the hidden treasure

on the ground. Start by reading the information sign to learn more about

Formation Springs. Hint: If you’re looking for the treasure don’t cross over the water.

Write down what you found:
Junior Explorer • Discover Areas of the Pocatello Field Office 17 

Area 5: Get Packing, Go Camping

There are a lot of campgrounds to explore in the Pocatello Field Office, with nearly 100 

campsites. Each campground has cool activities to try like fishing, hiking, biking, swimming, 

enjoying s’mores, and seeing stars. A list and map of BLM campsites in the Pocatello area can 

be found at www.blm.gov/id.

Activity 1, Connect the Stars

You can enjoy the stars at any of the BLM’s campgrounds. Notice how many more you can 

see and how much brighter they are away from the city lights. Have you ever tried to find 

constellations in the night sky? A constellation is a group of stars that makes a shape in the 

sky, and many of them have cool stories behind them. Connect the dots below to see what this 

famous constellation looks like in the night sky. Check out a book in your local library to learn 

more about the many constellations.

Activity 2, How to Use Fire Responsibly

It’s fun to sit around a campfire with your family while camping. The fire provides light and 

warmth, and, most importantly, it can be used to cook food and roast s’mores. However, fire 

can be dangerous if not properly watched and managed. In this activity, write the number of 

the safe campfire step in the picture that shows what the step says.

Steps for a Safe Campfire

1. Call before you go! Call the local fire district 

to see if campfires are allowed where you are 

going.

2. Bring a shovel or rake and a bucket of water to 

keep handy in case some fire escapes the fire 

pit.

3. Choose a place that is away from dry logs, 

steep slopes, dry grass, leaves, bushes, or 

overhanging branches.

4. Clear all leaves and forest floor litter away, 

down to the bare earth, for at least 5 feet 

around the fire.

5. Dig a shallow pit in the center of the cleared 

area, and surround it with rocks.

6. Keep extra wood, paper, your tent, and any 

other items that can burn away from the fire.

7. After you light the fire, throw the hot match 

into the fire (not on the ground).

8. Never leave a campfire burning when no one 

is there to watch it. Even a small breeze could 

cause the fire to spread.

9. When you are done, put the fire out 

completely. Start by drowning the fire with 

water.

10. Then stir the fire with a shovel and drown it 

with more water, continuing until the fire is 

out—COMPLETELY OUT!

are buried in the ground or even under water.

3. False. Sometimes archaeologists excavate sites. 

Other times they walk around doing surveys to look 

for sites on the surface to record. They also spend 

time analyzing artifacts and data and writing reports 

on what they find.

4. True. Once an artifact is moved, its context is lost 

forever. Without the context, the artifact cannot be 

used to tell its story. Only qualified archaeologists 

should excavate and remove artifacts from sites.
