About
The Community Caves are a popular but challenging hike. Visitors love the unique caves and waterfall, but many are frustrated by the lack of trail markers. It is a steep, rugged climb that requires good shoes and caution, especially in winter. It is not recommended for small children or those without hiking experience.
