Mallory Cave

This tiny hole in the wall has been a local landmark for many years, but it’s hard to get to and closed part of the year to protect rare breeding bats. By October the bats are gone for the season, so it’s time to explore! Moderately difficult, 2.5 miles, 750’ climb. The final approach to the cave is a steep scramble up a cliff.

Mallory Cave was rediscovered by a young student, E. C. Mallory, while exploring canyons in the summer of 1932. Saw-cut tree stumps outside the cave proved Mallory wasn’t the first to venture there. Name the Trail
