I'm not quite sure how far up the canyon 420 Hollow is, you just have to go with some one who knows. The cave will be on the left side of the canyon pretty high up on a cliff face, easily visible from the road. To get to the cave you need to cross the river, and go downstream through the trees. Also the trail isnt very visible so you still need someone that knows where they are going. When you get through the trees there is a trail between two steep hill sides. Follow this trail untill it turns right up the hillside, if it is muddy or snowy at all I would not recomend this hike for it is very steep and slippery. When you get to the top of the hill the trail turns left along the cliffside still going uphill. The trail splits about 20 yards after the turn, go right to get to the cave. This part of the trail is very narrow so be careful.
If you go to this cave be sure to bring a marker, because the cave is almost completely covered in signatures. I have my name signed on the right side of the cave. Also there is a poem in the cave, it doesnt say who wrote it though. The poem goes like this; "You hiked up this hill for the burning need, to sit in this hole and smoke some ****. If you brought some water take a swallow, relax and enjoy 420 Hollow."
I haven't ever been to 420 Hollow. How large would you say the cave is compared to Wildcat Cavern?
ReplyDeletesounds very confusing how to get there. i might have to check it out.
ReplyDelete420 hollow? how did it get its name? What if i dont know anyone who knows how to get there? will you take me?
ReplyDeleteIf you have been to the small cave above Wildcat Cavern then you can kind of compare the two. the Cave isn't very big but, it good for you and some friends to check out, watch cars drive by, and relax a little.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea of the names origin, but yes if you would like to o I can take you.

ReplyDeleteIt certainly sounds like an out-of-the-way place.
