It's a climb to get there, but Horsethief Canyon's caves and escarpments are a must see for all outdoor enthusiasts.
For those of us who aren't fans of small enclosed spaces, I give you Horse Thief Cave and its easy accessibility!
Legend has it that there are Indian wallpaintings within the walls of this manmade cave--however, they are very difficult to find.
Okay, how cool is this slide-like rock formation?! Even I would explore this cave!
When hiking along Table Mound's scenic trails, you will find several cave-like formations, towering rock walls and boulder fields.
