Cave Falls

This weekend we hiked to Cave Falls in the southwest corner of Yellowstone National Park. The falls are very impressive, especially with the Falls River running so high right now.  From here, there are several hiking trails that lead to other waterfalls, however, we were told that there was a bear on the trail up ahead. We decided not to risk it and to end our journey here. We would have loved to see a bear, but not up too close!

Cave Falls is not reachable on the main loop. Instead,  you travel down a long washboard dirt road.  It was not so good on our already worn tires.  We had two flats this weekend! One on the way home and one the next day!  Poor Brad! He's my hero.
