Ape Cave (Seattle, Camas: school, car, places)

Has anyone hiked Ape Cave?

It's not exactly what I'd call a hike, as it's less than 2 miles long, but, yes, I've been in Ape Cave many times. For the most part, it's fairly open with a sandy floor. Bring flashlights, extra batteries, water and a warm jacket, no matter how hot it is outside.

Thanks PNW
Picking up my daughter from Seattle this weekend.
Wanted to show her some stuff on the way down
to Camas before she goes back to school (collage socal)
Maybe we'll loop Mt. Ranier.

It may only be a 2 mile hike, but don't forget the hike back to the care. It doesn't seem like far, but you'll be sore when you are done. It's flat in a lot of places, but there is a lot of climbing too. Don't forget the 10 foot wall that need scaled.

Definitely bring flashlights, water and a coat or sweatshirt.

The hike inside the caves is fun and if you are into science/nature at all - you'll learn a lot. The hike back to the car is beautiful. Breathtaking.

Great hike.
Others have said to bring flashlights, I suggest a lantern. Flashlights barely break the darkness down there.
