Description

This hike begins about 16 miles north of Kernville on Mtn. 99 just north of the Fairview Campground. The trail climbs three miles to the cave. Bring a flashlight to explore the cave to see the remaining stalactites and stalagmites.

You'll gain elevation fairly constantly with a 900 foot gain to cross the ridge/saddle. Along this incline, you can see deer brush, manzanita, live oak, digger pine and sagebrush. The trail dips down to the creek, crossing it about three times. Inside the cave there are stalactites and stalagmites so bring a flashlight!
