Henry Plummer Hidden Loot — City of Rocks Trail

Lost Treasure ID • Cassia County County
Description
1863 Idaho-Montana trail legend of Sheriff-turned-outlaw Henry Plummer hiding more than $100,000 in stolen stage and freight loot somewhere along the Virginia City to Salt Lake route through the City of Rocks.
Historical Notes
Before Montana vigilantes hanged Plummer in January 1864, he allegedly cached over $100,000 from organized robberies along the northern mining freight roads. Legends of America places the hideout corridor through the City of Rocks granite maze where Ed Long and later stage bandits also supposedly buried bullion. Coordinates mark the national reserve visitor area — a symbolic center of the cross-border outlaw trail, not a pinpoint vault.
Status / Verification legend — Legendary or approximate
