Located in view of the Doublespring Pass Road in the Lost River Range of rural Idaho is a hillside that contains a number of small caves. A faint parking area leads one to a direct cave that goes in about 50 feet while this particular cave one has to climb up the hillside to get on a ledge. I don't know if there is any prehistoric significance to these rock shelters though there does appear to be some stained charcoal on the ceiling. Certainly this region of Idaho has many past Native American archaeological discoveries & this one would've made an ideal location as it is located near to Doublespring (a natural spring) itself.

Idaho is a state located in the northwestern region of the United States of America. Idaho is the 14th largest state by area, ranks 39th by population and 53rd by population density of the 50 United States. Idaho was the 43rd state to be admitted into the Union, on July 3, 1890. Idaho is landlocked, being bordered by Canada on the north and the states of Washington and Oregon on the west, Nevada and Utah on the south and Montana and Wyoming on the east. Idaho is nicknamed "The Gem State" because nearly every known gemstone is found within the state. Idaho is also famous for producing about one third of all potatoes grown in the USA. Idaho also hosts the largest barrel cheese factory in the world, producing 120K metric tons of cheese per year. There is some ambiguity as to where the name "Idaho" came from, but it is generally believed to have simply been made up by George M. Willing. There is a possibility it was derived from a Native American phrase. Idaho is very mountainous and is a popular outing destination of the outdoorsman. The state population was about 1.58M in July 2011 with 84% being Caucasian, 11.2% Hispanic and 1.1% Native American. The state capital and largest city is Boise.Source: wikipedia
