Description
The trail is not always obvious; try to stay close to the rocks on your right. At the end, the trail zigzags steeply up the rocky slope and dips into the mountain unveiling a very large cave. You can descend to the cave floor, but the path down is very steep and slippery. The cave is typically cool, even on a hot summer day.
