The cave is made of talus, or rock that has fallen in a ravine. Unlike most caves which were made from erosion, this one was made from rocks from above. A flashlight is required to venture inside, but be carful when you hike inside. There are sections that have low ceiling where you'll need to crawl through. Hiking shoes are recommended.
