There are a lot of bushes and little branches, so make sure not to get smacked in the face by a lose branch.
Don't slip, and dig your heels in.
If you fall do so, fabulously.
Big Foot also likes the cave.
You have to cross the creek three times, there are two places where there was a small bridge made of logs, and the other one you have to find your own way across. The creek is not that wide, and it seems like it is mostly snow run off, so try not to fall in.
In some areas it looks like the trail disappears, but if you continue forward you will most likely find the it again. There's also orange ties on branches to remind you that you're still on the trail.
The sign that tells you where the cave is, is fallen down so you have to look for it. You'll come to a fork in the trail, take the left up the hill and you'll make it to the entrance of the caves.
This is the view from the entrance of the cave.
Don't miss the chance to leave your mark in history.
Don't step on this, or you will fall straight into HELL!!! j/k

Hey Angie & Trent,
ReplyDeleteCool Blog - great photographs and commentary. Been camping, hiking, and climbing at Yosemite more times then I have fingers and toes and the Packsaddle caves are hiking gem - especially since you have to expend a little effort to get there which detours the "lookie-lous" thus keeping the area tranquil. It is great to explore without finding groups of people around every corber.
Great Trekking you two,
Flagger Mark
