Although 2-5 inches fell up in the mountains the day before, the trail is still fairly packed, and within minutes of hiking I take the snowshoes off. Snowshoeing turned into snow hiking. It doesn’t take me long to make it to the Falls. Wintertime transforms a familiar landscape into some new, which is the best part about getting up into the mountains at this time of year.

Eventually I weigh the pro’s and con’s and head up… [[ The cave is minuscule compared to it’s summer size, as snow and ice have diminished the opening.
