Trail Description
This is a very steep trail including one short section with a bit of exposure on a steep hillside. Caution is required, especially during wet conditions.
Prior to this, you will cross a small stream where there is no bridge. There is also quite a bit of overgrowth to be aware of.
The caves are located past the top lookout area with bench.
