    Tips

    June 15, 2022

    Hiking

    At about 4 kilometers and little more than one hour walk from the trailhead you will reach the Alum Cave Bluffs at an altitude of about 1,500 m. This place isn't a cave, but an overhanging rock with a height of about 25 m and depth of 12 m.
    The majority of hikers on the Alum Cave Trail, including families with children, go up to this point and then back to the parking at the trailhead.

    Mountaineering

    Nice hike on reasonable paths, sometimes wet from the water that comes from the mountain. Use good shoes and bring enough water is a tip. But also to buy a parking ticket at the visitor center for that day.
