As Mike and I hiked around some ledges we noticed some holes in a cliff.
The one on the right may have been natural but the two on the left certainly
didn't look natural.
It was time to see if we could get to them. I volunteered myself. I enjoy a brisk hike.
I was able to reach the hole on the right but didn't attempt to reach those
on the left.
Inside the cave the holes didn't appear to connect.
 |
At the entrance I slowed down, took a few pictures and looked around for
animals.
I had seen a bobcat a short distance from the entrance and didn't want any
surprises.
There were packrat droppings and I could hear them back in the hole but I
didn't see the bobcat again.
The photo above was taken looking straight ahead into the hole
and the photo below was taken looking to the left.

This picture is looking to the right inside the hole. This is where I could
hear the packrat(s).
The photo below is looking straight down into a large hole just inside the
entrance.
It drops down about 30 feet and we would need to return if we decide to explore
it because I was all alone and didn't have the rope ladder with me anyway.
 |
That's a long way down. However one can't help but wonder what treasure might be waiting there.
 |
What a treat! We saw a large number of wildlife on this trip including these mountain goats.
 |
This is another cave seen from a distance. It is easy to see
how a person could walk fairly close to a hole and never see it.
This was our third and final cave of the day.
We ran out of time before we could explore this one but took a look anyway.

Like they say "There's always tomorrow".
We'll be back.
