| partners | | Tapeats Cave was a real treat from start to finish. Very cool sections between Thunder River confluence and where the route turns to the north towards the cave. The flow through this section is awesome...so much water and nice narrows where we had to navigate river crossings multiple times. However after the turn to the north the route gets much more difficult with steep scree slopes, loose rocks and some route finding but still great views of the redwall and Tapeats Canyon below. Near the top of the canyon we finally reached the cave and were rewarded for the effort.
When we arrived at the cave opening a small group was exiting the cave and gave us some good information about some of the passages, rooms, and water inside cave. We proceeded into the cave and awed by the flowing river and large pools inside the cave. Really awesome to see this area and the cave experience was something I've never seen before  |
