Cave and Hike
It is a surprisingly large cave with three distinct chambers and a secret exit at the back for those who don't mind climbing a precariously balanced log.Courtesy of summitpost.org
You can take a quad/four-wheeler half way up, after that there is a 1/4 mile hike that can be fairly steep. The trail leads directly to the cave.Courtesy of geocaching.com
