There was snow at the start of NF-8303. Everyone parked at the start of that road and walked a mile to the start of the cave. The cave was amazing and we noticed that there is a high ledge almost halfway through the upper cave where a lot of people just turn around. It's worth it to climb it and continue through the whole upper cave until the end. When we got out of the cave there was about knee high snow but there is a footpath you can easily follow back to the entrance. I would highly recommend this hike. Make sure you bring a quality flashlight or headlamp though.
