Join a park ranger on a guided hike through the Western foothills of the Franklin Mountains.

This hike is an easy to moderately difficult hike of about 1.2 miles round trip. The trail is well maintained for most of the hike, with a steep incline with loose rubble just ahead of the entrance to the cave, so we will take this section slowly and carefully. There are benches at several scenic overlooks along the trail.
