I set out on trip to try and locate some native cave dwellings on the side of Bluff Spring Mountain. I read about these in one of Tom Kollenborns articles but failed to locate them at least 3 times before. When we did the backpack to Music Canyon Steve had a photo of the lower cave entrance. For some odd reason that made the difference for me. I had an off trail loop planned by once I got out there and started the climb up the wash it just didn't feel right. Well that and it looked hard.

I saw some ledges that looked interesting and headed that way. The first two were duds and the third had an open cave but then I looked down and saw the partial wall on the lower cave and knew I was there. The temps are great for a long hike and there were several people out on the trails. I didn't see anyone while climbing up the side canyon 900 feet above La Barge Creek? I made great time on the trails but the off trail was steep and loose. I saw a pretty skunk and that was it for the fauna. Vive la Supes!
