Summary: Start up the trail headed south up the canyon. About 1/2 way up you will cross the TX state line. At the top of the trail, look for a trail to the left and continuing up hill. Follow the trail up. At every fork, choose the higher path. Look for the cave near the top. NOTE: At the cave, ranger contact is Texas Parks and Wildlife, Franklin Mountain State Park.

At the top of the pass, look for a gate on the right (south) side of the road. Enter (CLOSE THE GATE!) and follow the dirt road as far as your vehicle will allow.

Olbrisch, who has posted 68 other hikes on this site Trail Reviews Submit your own review I did this hike in Boy Scouts in when it was still largely unknown and highway 404 was just the anthony gap/ el paso gas dirt road. There are several other hikes from the starting point that will take you different lookout/ vantage points. Lovely, save the fact that individuals are leaving trash. Such a short hike and cave - pack it back out! Had fun Notice: Traveling in the backcountry can be hazardous.
