Beautiful! Trail was pretty easy, but it is a bit rocky in some areas. Highly recommend wearing non slip shoes. The only parking is by the freeway in what looks to be a turnaround area.

Amazing place! I would definitely go again! I'm giving it 4 instead of 5 stars because it is challenging to get to and swim through. And limited parking. We came on a Tuesday afternoon during a heat wave. My husband and...Read More

This place is so magical. Small hike takes you to a beautiful cave. You can swim from one side to the other. The water is very cold and it gets pretty deep. We had to swim but it was so fun! Our wetsuits worked! We...Read More

This place is so cool! In both ways! Haha, the water is very cold. If you come prepared with life jackets and something to float on, you will be comfortable. The water flow speed is very slow. I had been nervous about that due to...Read More

Jan 4th 2025 Parked by the highway. No dogs allowed Restrooms available If you stay to the right on all forks you’ll hit the cave pretty quickly. There’s some rocks blocking some paths. So I took it as a caution and didn’t go that way. The cave is amazing. Huge. Please don’t...Read More
