Cave Creek Trail<br />
Difficulty: Easiest<br />
Length: 3.7 miles (loop), 590' elevation gain<br />
Notes: The most difficult part again is the altitude combined with a little bit of <br />
climbing, if you get through that part the trail itself is quite easy. For a longer <br />
outing combine this with the Steptoe Creek Trail.
Getting There: From Ely head south on Hwy 50/93 for 7 miles. Take a left and <br /><br />follow the signs to Cave Lake State Park.<br /><br /><br /><br />Directions for Cave Creek Trail, Loop: Park at the trailhead just past the paved <br /><br />road on your right that goes up to the actual lake. There will be a trailhead with a <br /><br />kiosk. You'll see a trail coming in across the creek in front of you, this is the Cave <br /><br />Creek Trail. To do a loop I would recommend heading up the paved road past the <br /><br />lake to where it turns to dirt. Go for another .8 miles until you see a two-track dirt <br /><br />road on your left. Go up this and climb for about 1.8 miles until you see signs for <br /><br />the Cave Creek Trail. Go left and follow the trail back to where you parked.<br /><br />
