Found this benchmark during a caching trip up a road I had never been on. This BM is accessible from Highway 21 just before you get to Hilltop Cafe. There is a communications tower at the top of Shaw Mtn and I presume this BM is there because it is the next highest peak SE of Bogus Basin Ski Resort. Benchmark is in good shape but the SHAW stamping is getting hard to read.
At this time, you can not drive all the way to this - you will need a high clearance vehicle to get you within 1/4 of a mile - have to hike the rest of the way but the view is REALLY worth it!
