Hike | Wind Cave Trail – Arizona Hikers Guide

The Wind Cave Trail is a short, moderately difficult hike that leads to at best a few alcoves and should not be mistaken by the more popular Superstition hike the “Wave Cave” trail.  This hike begins at a popular trailhead which is equipped with restroom facilities.  The trail is well marked from the trailhead and is very easy to follow.

Not long after starting on the trail you will junction with Pass Mountain Trail.  Continue straight and gently ascend towards the mountainside you see in front of you.  The trail will continue to ascend for 800 ft. over 1.5 miles and will eventually bend right towards the “caves”.  You will see a sign pointing left towards the caves.  The caves themselves are not all that interesting and regularly contain bees and wasps which you need to be aware of.  The real treat at the end of your hike is the nice views that look over the valley floor. Return the way you came and remember to use caution and hike slowly.
