Wind Caves

Wind Cave is a popular hike in Logan Canyon. The cave is large, interesting but not deep or that exciting to explore. Still, the trail can be quite crowded and even full of young kids which is surprising considering the trail climbs quite a bit. A few arches have been created at the top end of Wind Cave by the wind and water erosion.

Access:

Distance: 1.8 miles
Elevation Gain: 1,000 feet
Access Rating: Paved

Take Highway 89 east out of Logan into Logan Canyon. About 5.3 miles up the canyon, just past Guinavah-Malibu Campground, is the trailhead parking on the left hand side of the highway.

Route:

The trail slowly climbs out of the canyon up toward a band of rocks. The route is shaded about half the time but being on south slopes the route is known to get really hot. During much of the climb you will see two big rock outcrops above. Wind Caves is at the top of these outcrops.
