Getting There

Navigate to 37.506603, -112.710976.

You can drive to within about 200 feet of the cave. A short walk up a maintained trail takes you to the entrace of the ice cave.

Route

The entrance is a little steep but manageable. Someone tied a rope as a handline for those who want a little extra reassurance.

Duck Creek Ice Cave is just one big room. You don't ever need a flash light because light from the entrace illuminates the whole cave.

Story

We took the 11-year-old Scouts to Duck Creek Ice Cave as part of our August camp out. 

The boys had a blast exploring the cave. When we were all done, we piled in the cars and drove to the Cascade Falls.
