Best Hikes to Dripping Cave (Robbers Cave)

Tips

  • The Dripping Cave! In the wet months, there can be enough water to "drip" if not flow in spots. And you never know what wildlife may be in the area.

  • Between 1856-1857, an outlaw by the name of Juan Flores and his outlaw gang used the Dripping Cave as a hideout and shelter. They were infamously known to be livestock and stagecoach thieves, hence why the place is also known today as “Robbers Cave”.

    You can still find some evidence to back up that story, such as peg holes in the ceiling that they used to hang their gear and even wagon tracks in certain parts of the landscape.
