Cave Spring Trail

This short trail passes Cave Spring, one of the area's few year-round water sources.  An excellent natural campsite, this location was first used by Ancestral Puebloan Indians and later by cowboys.  Remnants of a cowboy camp can be seen in the first alcove, which served as an open-air bunkhouse.  In the second alcove there is evidence of earlier human use, including pictographs, grinding slicks and a smoke-blackened ceiling.
