While hiking along the non-controlled Railroad Tunnels Trails (aka "Manitou Railroad Grade") and geocaching I saw this trail trace which led into a dry creek bed. Well as a Geocacher and Waymarker I just couldn't pass up the Trail less taken.

After hiking back about 800 feet found this cave in the west bank of the creek bed about 10 feet up a short path. Went into the cave about 40 feet and found a passage leading down to a chamber and another small passage leading up to a chamber that was at least 15 by 20 feet.

A Pen light was not the equipment needed to explore this cave. I will have to bring back the appropriate caving equipment to further explore this great cave.
