Cave Spring

Cave Spring, about 0.5 miles west of the Trail Canyon Trail junction on the North Loop Trail, is a great destination for hikers without the ability or interest in hiking all the way to Mt. Charleston summit. It is, nonetheless, a good workout and good views are frequent. It is also a good place to find water along the trail, and a good place to sit quietly and listen to the birds that come in to drink
