Let’s Explore The Ape Caves!! I have been here many times but not since they have done the new ticket system. But I don’t imagine much has changed to the actual caves lol we will go down the flat path until it gets too small and we turn around. It will be pitch black, so flashlights are required. Make sure you dress warm. It gets colder underground, even on the hottest of days. We will take the walk slow so the kids can really experience all its glory. Afterwards we will head down to the trail of two forests for lunch. Feel free to leave whenever you would like after the ape caves exploration.
Bathrooms: there are some bathrooms at the parking lot I believe. Not 100% sure.
Meeting Up! We will meet in the parking lot at 10:50AM. Because the entries to the caves are timed and ticketed, we need to make sure we are ready to go by 11am. Because this is a timed entry we cannot wait for you to show up. If you are not at the hike by 11AM we will need to start without you. Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.
Rain or shine we plan to hike!!!! Please dress accordingly.
***Hikes may be subject to change due to illness’s on behalf of myself or my children, as well as severe weather patterns. Please check the event page for the day of the hike for the most updated information.
Drive safe, Make sure you come prepared, and we will see you soon!
