One of the caves.
We haven't hiked this trail in awhile. We try to hike it at least once a year. It's one of our favorite hikes. The trail is well maintained. There is virtually no elevation gain and it's a short hike, making it very family friendly. We saw hikers of all ages and even some in strollers.
We picked Labor Day to hike this trail and we were certainly not alone. The trail was crowded as we expected. Despite the crowds, we really enjoyed our hike. We climbed the small hill across from the caves and sat on the rocks for over an hour just enjoying the views. Then we hiked a bit farther to see the caves furthest away from the trail.
