Description Suggest change

A huge horizontal roof with sculpted pockets, pinches and flakes. This south-facing venue is very popular.

Getting There Suggest change

Hike past the signs at the end of the parking lot and cross the wooden bridge built ontop of several stone foundations(It's wide enough to walk through carrying a metolious or mad rock crash pad.) To the right you'll see a tall structure made from the same stone brick and a little bit after that, there is a trail leading up the hill. Hike up and you'll end up walking on a part of another stone brick structure as well as a set of wooden staircases which will lead you to Vapor Cave.

Approach time- ~6 minutes.

During misting and light rainy conditions, the cave is dry.

If you spot a tunnel entrance on your right, you've walked too far ahead.
