Stopped at the Grotto on my way home from camping to stretch my legs. Hike is short and much improved since my last visit, before WTA trail improvements. Easy switchbacks, handrail and a bench part way up. Had the entire place to myself and was able to explore the different caves. Water was running inside and down the cave walls which made it nice and cool on this warm spring day. I was greeted by Glacier Lilies and Spring Beauty wildflowers from the parking lot. The Buffalo are out just down the road and are also worth a stop to see.
