We
hiked
the
waterfall
trails
and
were
able
to
hang
out
on
the
rocks
and
put
our
feet
in
the
water.
It
was
a
great
way
to
cool
off
on
a
hot
summer
day.
The
hike
is
shady
and
pretty
comfortable
on
the
way
down.
There
are
a
lot
of
stairs,
so
the
hike
back
up
requires
a
few
stops
to
rest.
There
is
a
nice
spot
about
halfway
with
a
bench.
The
stairs
are
grated,
so
not
very
dog
friendly,
we
saw
a
lot
of
dog
owners
carrying
their
dogs.
We
had
lunch
at
the
picnic
tables
and
enjoyed
the
views
of
the
canyon.
Check
out
the
fishing
pond.
It's
about
a
quarter
of
a
mile
from
the
parking
lot
and
has
several
picnic
tables.
There
were
lots
of
small
fish
and
lots
of
frogs!
We
caught
a
few
of
the
small
fish
and
threw
them
back.
We
stayed
in
the
yurt
village,
yurt
#6.
This
was
our
first
yurt
experience,
and
we
were
very
happy
with
the
setup.
The
yurt
has
air
conditioning
and
a
ceiling
fan,
which
was
amazing!
Water
spigot
at
the
camp
site,
picinic
table,
and
a
fire
ring
with
a
grate
to
cook
on.
(Tip:
bring
your
own
firewood,
or
you
can
purchase
from
the
visitors
center
or
tge
camp
host).
The
bathrooms
nearby
we're
clean
and
well
stocked.
There
is
also
a
playground
with
a
Pavillion
that
has
grills
and
picnic
tables.
The
next
day,
we
went
on
an
amazing
adventure
to
Sittons
Cave.
Starting
at
the
interpretive
center,
we
met
our
Caving
guide,
Jerry.
Jerry
outfit
us
with
helmets
and
headlamps,
knee
pads,
and
gloves
before
we
made
our
way
to
a
nearby
section
of
the
park
where
we
found
the
cave
entrance.
Jerry
was
an
amazing
guide!
He
taught
us
about
safety,
cave
preservation,
geology,
caves,
and
the
animals
that
live
in
them.
Navigating
through
the
cave
was
an
unforgettable
experience.
We
saw
formations,
stalagmites
and
stalactites,
columns,
and
even
2
salamanders!
The
cave
was
instantly
so
much
cooler
than
outside.
I
believe
Jerry
said
it
was
56°
year
round.
I
would
highly
recommend
going
on
this
adventure.
Here
are
a
few
things
to
know;
you
will
wade
in
knee
deep
water
at
some
points,
you
will
army
crawl
through
mud,
you
will
squeeze
through
some
tight
spaces
and
at
one
point
you
will
experience
complete
darkness.
Some
tips
for
caving:
Dress
in
pants
that
stretch
but
are
durable
as
you
will
be
sliding
on
your
bottom
across
rocks.
Wear
a
top
that
you
is
long
on
your
midsection
and
long
sleeves
to
protect
from
mud
while
army
crawling.
Skip
bringing
a
backpack,
opt
for
fanny
pack.
Bring
a
small
flash
light
if
you'd
like
to
see
more
than
just
where
your
headlamp
is
pointing.
Check
out
the
visitors'
center
for
souvenirs
and
snacks.
I
personally
really
enjoyed
the
interpretive
center.
You
can
go
to
learn
about
native
plants,
animals,
and
all
about
the
park.
I
can't
wait
for
our
next
visit!!
