Description

A large roof featuring the namesake boulder “Paladin” as well as some potential for more. Unfortunately, most of this cave suffered from port rock quality. With some time and cleaning it could end up pretty good, who knows.

Getting There

Hike down this trail for 20-30 yards from the parking until there is a small tree with the number 5 carved into it. Turn right and follow the ridge straight down (steep). At the bottom of this ridge the cave will be to your right.
