Reviewed by Mark on 4/22/2007 My main reason for this hike is to visit the Onyx cave, but on my last trip to the caev I found that it was closed. Bars were placed and welded with strong intent, so I assume the cae has been closed. I've seen this kind of thing before, but there is usually a combination lock or something similar so that the conservation department can at least allow controlled access to the caves with given permission. I didn't see and lock... I took my son and nephew there with the idea of them seeing their first cave. They were disappointed, of course, but I believe if they knew what they were really missing they would have been much more upset. Notice: Traveling in the backcountry can be hazardous.
