Description
Added by Sarah Levant
This dog-friendly trail takes you up to the caves to explore and is relatively easy. If you want to climb higher for better views, the hike becomes more challenging.
This is a great trail for a run or for stretching your legs exploring the caves in Usery Mountain Regional Park. Keep in mind that the trail leads you up to the cave and is the end point. To get better views of the area, you'll have to climb up past the caves, where the trail is not marked.

Hike the Wind Cave Trail Reviews
Pretty easy trail with beautiful view of the sunrise or sunset or just in general!

Great place for a sunset hike (bring a headlamp!), it's short but get's decently challenging. Bring more water than you think you need!
5.0
I often hike the Wind Cave trail in the evening to watch the sunset and enjoy the views from the top. It's a short hike but the incline makes it good for a workout.
