Description

Can't find the words right now...pretty amazing though. and about the size of a yacht. Jay and I found this while exploring...Thanks to Jay for sharing such a cool spot!

This cave is hidden inside Cavern Cliff. It is about 40 feet deep, at least 100 feet wide and only maybe 8 feet across at it's widest. There are a few ways to get into it. You could climb Yellowjacket slab which finishes looking down into the void, and rappel down from a bolted anchor. You may also hike around Cavern Cliff to climbers left and find the entrance blocked by a big boulder. Scramble up carefully and over the boulder and down into the cave.

Getting There

continue along the obvious trail, all the way up until your face to face with a 50 foot rock face with a large roof pointing to an off width. This is The Upper Cliff, Gandalf's Cave is inside this.
