Nice hike, especially when it's hot, this part is a little more shadowed. Flashlight strongly recommended. May be seasonally closed, see Park's website in advance.

Hiking

Prepare for cold knee deep water and stony ground. It is best to take the entrance from the other side of the cave. A headlamp comes in handy later on since the caves are very dark.
