Shafer Butte Mining Company
Dig deep into the history of Bogus Basin, where swindlers used to manufacture gold and pawn it off to the unsuspecting shop owners in Boise. Bogus Basin got its name in the early 1860’s from these gold swindlers. Purchase your pay dirt at the Simplot Lodge ticket window, then take a stab at striking gold or finding gems, arrowheads, and fossils in the Shafer Butte Mining Company sluice. A great activity for all ages.
