Route Description for Boulder Cave Trail
Boulder Cave Trail is a unique hike, taking you through a 101 m basalt rock cave with Devil Creek flowing beside you. It’s a fun hike for kids and bats are usually present in the cave. The hike itself is easy and short, but it does tend to see more traffic when it’s open.
Begin from the trailhead. Take the trail that follows Devil Creek. Hike through the cave, watching to make sure you don’t step in too much guano. It should go without saying, but leave bats undisturbed for your safety and their safety. At the end of the trail is a small waterfall. Here, turn around and retrace your steps to the trailhead.
