Nine hikers meet at Boynton Canyon trailhead and all of us get parking spot close to trailhead. From the trailhead we hike Boynton Canyon for 2 miles. We notice the huge alligator pine tree on the left and rock sign “cave” on the right.

The trail is easy to follow and leads us to base of the cave.

Everyone seems very happy in seeing the beautiful cave and taking good photos.
