Waterfall Hollow Cave

This cave is difficult to find without a GPS. It is located deep in a hollow that is recessed behind two other hollows. You sorta have to know where it is to get there. The namesake waterfall for the hollow is absolutely beautiful (see photo below). The cave itself is small, but quite scenic consisting of nice borehole stream passage and intersecting canyon passage with flowstone plugs and draperies.

Looking back towards the entrance of the cave. The stream flows for a couple of hundred feet and then plunges over the waterfall.

Some historic graffitti is present in the cave also. Interesting because the cave is in the middle of nowhere today, it is hard to imaging how far out in the middle of nowhere it was in 1873, as the date indicates.

This is one of the flowstone plugs in one of the intersecting canyon passages. Packs have been left behind because the going passage is too tight for them.
