Double Drop Cave

Post by CliffCaver »

Really fun cave! Guesstimated total length 250ft I took a few trips to this place first time alone and the second time with my girlfriend. Also I’m gonna make a 3rd trip back to clean the cave and maybe leave a rock telling people not to litter in the cave and protect it. Video here : https://youtu.be/yrV2koNj3A0

Did you make it to the bottom of the pit in the back?

Nice! I didn't have a rope or anything last I tried and it was a bit too sketch to attempt without it!

There's a tiny cave in that same area called Spit Cave. All of 17ft long! It's south of the main rd there up in a valley. Not much to it, but what's interesting is that one and Double Drop are both most likely remnant side passages of the much larger cave system nearby which has eroded back to its current entrance location. Imagine everything along that road all the way to the parking lot was just cave! Geology's pretty cool.
