  • Paved Gorge Trail

0.25-mile ADA-accessible trail leading through a lush gorge. We took this to the Cave.

  • Unpaved Rim Trail

0.5 mile Rim Trail offers elevated views of the gorge and surrounding forest. We took the stairs and took this back to the parking lot.

The cave’s name originates from large ash piles found by early settlers, believed to be remnants of Native American campfires.
