The Hike to Timp Cave

Timp Cave is a bit of a hike.
Thank goodness for the numerous benches on the trail
(although getting Ethan off the benches and up the trail was sometimes a chore,
or rather, down the trail,
as he was pretty good about going up
but complained his feet hurt, going down.)

There are some gorgeous views on that trail, though.

This is the view both up and down of the trail on the last quarter or so of the 1.5 mile hike.
In the top photo you can see the shelter over the cave entrance,
in the bottom, how steep the switchbacks are.
