Red Baron


After a 2 hour hike of mostly scrambling, access to this cleft is gained by a short rappel off a 200' cliff.


The entry was excavated by the two original explorers in 1972 and is quite tight.


The entry passage is gated to protect the cave's formations.

Helectites are plentiful!


Calcified roots in "Upper Walking Passage".

What a beautiful cave!
