Admin’s Trip Reports

Hiked through the Mt Toby Forest over to the cave on a Saturday. The parking lot was mostly full with cars parked along the road. The trails were moderately trafficked and the cave itself had a group of people repelling down. We hiked out to the cave, through the cave from the northern entrance, and out to the southern entrance which sits along the edge of the mountain. The inside of the cave is virtually pitch-black with a few scraps of light shining in from above and the side entrances. If you plan to explore the cave, you must bring a headlamp or a powerful flashlight. One side of the cave has a sheer 7-foot drop-off with rock ledges you can use to get up/down, but watch your footing and grip. Also watch your head while inside the cave since the headroom is low. The entire cave itself is roughly 25 to 30-feet long and about 20 feet deep at the center. The hike itself is moderate and you can follow well-marked signs to reach the cave.
